Thumbs up Engine Blueprinting

I've torn apart my 350 in prep for a mild performance rebuild: >= 350 hp/ci, budget of $2500-$3000. What is the difference in the build tolerances between a "blueprinted" engine and a good, careful rebuild? Where would I get the needed tolerances for a blueprinted build? Is it worth the hassle and extra hours?

The truck is a mid-life project, not a daily driver. The main reason for the build is for the experience...and to show it off at the occasional stop light and burger joint.

I'm an apprentice machinist and know enough to get in trouble. Please help me get in trouble
