360 build suggestion

My experience it cost me a lot more than
2 k for a 11 second small block.

I would recommend building a good stout bottom
End that you can depend on.
Start off with a set of J heads and a cam that
Will work with your converter and gearing.
Then later on get a decent set of heads that will
Work with your desired compression and swap those
On with a cam that will work with your finished
Combo.
Probably wont start off in the 11's but your
Bracket racing anyways.
What I have learned is every time I try to
Save a buck on a build it ends up costing me
Three times by the time I'm done.
Do some research I have seen some posts on this forum
On Some really impressive junkyard magnum
Engines.
Goodluck keep us updated on your project
Sounds like you have a good start to a really
Nice race car.
Very similar to what I run.
