starting to investigate options for repowering, who's got suggestions ? not looking to spend 6 figures!

We just got done repowering my 42. They are 540's and did not spent 8-10 grand, But we did all the work ourselves.

358 player,
I have a deal going on some 540's. I was able to round up enough parts to build 6 of them, so when they're gone, this price will go up, as I bought these parts at a good price.
All of the parts are new, name brand parts, not used junk. I am currently building a similar pair for kidsonic's 35. The parts are as follows:
GM Gen VI block
Crower crank and rods
JE pistons and rings
Clevite H series bearings
Dart Iron Eagle heads with Manley SS intake and Inconel exhaust valves, Isky springs, Comp retainers and keepers, ARP rocker studs and Harland Sharp roller rockers
Crane hydraulic roller cam and lifters
Dart single plane intake and Holley 850 carb., and polished SS flame arrestor ( similar to 500 hp setup)
MSD distributor, coil and plug wires
Polished timing cover, sheetmetal valve covers, harmonic balancer, and flywheel. This is a complete running motor, minus the accessories. This would be a great upgrade to a 500 hp or similar. You could use the accessories from an existing motor or I can add accessories of your choice.
The price is 13,500.00 as is, or around 18k with all accessories and wiring, depending on what accessories you choose. This motor makes 600 hp as is on 89 octane, or it can be raised to about 625-630 if you want to run 93 octane.Let me know if you are interested or if I can help you in any way. Thanks, Eddie.
