I will tell you first hand you'll be dumping some serious cash. I just built a 331 (327 bored .030 over) for my 65 Nova gasser. I started with a tired block, did machining, went with full rollers (cam, rockers, lifter), tunnel ram with dual quads, edelbrock performer rpm heads, plus all the accessories and I'm pushing about 500 hp. But I will tell you that my cost for parts and machining (as I did the assembly myself) was close to $5,000. Yes my Nova will run low 10's in the 1/4 mile and redline at 7,500 rpm...but going fast costs money period.
