Rebuild suggestions

Should i go with the performer RPM package, or make my own combination. How much does the package cost? The parts i picked out brings the cost to about $2000 including the machining.
Thanks

You DO realize that you can get a very nice crate engine for that kind of cash....

If there is a crate engine that makes around 400hp for 2,000 I might consider it. I also want to do the work myself as a learning experience.

Well, the engine was free. The Block work will be about 250, the Engine kit with pistons rods crankshaft 800, intake manifold 120, Heads 850, camshaft 100, well it comes out to 2120, and not everything is there, but i would have to say 2500 max for the engine.
