Coming to the darkside, what will be the best set up?

I can no longer keep spending money on this TPI engine . It is going to cost to much money to get in the 12's by keeping this TPI. I have my block in the shop right now getting bored, so I will be starting with a fresh block. Is there a good performance package that I can go with to get me where I want to be. I am getting new heads, so this will be a good start. any help will be great.

The sky is the limit man...you're gonna have to be a bit more specific on your budget, expectations, etc.

I have about $3500 to spend on block work and whatever else. I would like to see 12's if it's possible with this amount of money. I am a little green when it comes to carbs, but I have friends that run them and they have been trying to get me to go carb for awhile now. So I am open to here any suggestions .

I might be able to get some double hump heads really cheap from a guy I work with. I told him I didn't want them when I had the TPI, so I might have to reconsider now.
