    Boy that is the truth... Actually, figure out the most you would want to spend, then divide that by half. Because when your done, your gonna end up spending double!

    Yeah, there's a math deal for that. I think it money x square root or something like that.

    Well, tell us what you have to work with, then we can tell you what will work and what to throw in the trash.

    A two bolt 454 block with cast crank and 3/8 bolt rods will work fine. Hyperutectic flat top pistons and large oval port heads with a closed or semi closed combustion chamber. The Edelbrock Torker camshaft and a dual plane Edelbrock Oval Port intake manifold will work great. Edelbrock 750 Squarebore marine carb, Gil exhaust manifolds, stock Merc Thunderbolt IV Ignition with 34 degrees max ign. advance, extended tip spark plugs gapped at .045 inches.
    It will make an easy 425+ horsepower at 5,000 rpm.
