This is what i have in my 388. But I'm sure one can be built with less dinero. I built the motor that I had always wanted.

As far as block grinding goes.......I had to do more than usual because I used H-beam rods with cap screws rather than a bolt and nut. This allowed me to have plenty of cam lobe clearance at the expense of a little more block grinding. As far as how much you'll need to do....it depends on the rods, crank and the block. I would make sure to use an older casting block as they tend to have more beef to them. You don't want to grind into the water jackets. The oil pan needed to be massaged in a few places as well. I had to do my machining in steps so that I could mock up the engine a couple of times to make sure everything fit and had enough clearence.
