Big Block power with better heads???

You'll get no argument from me that the selection of BB Chevy heads is abundant. You asked about building a Mopar block that would accept a BB head? I'm saying you can't build one cheaper than using a BB Chevy short block! Hell look at all the different makers of aftermarket Chevy blocks! You have GM themselves, Merlin, World , Dart, Bill Mitchell , ETC. My point is if you want to build HP as cheap as possible, Just build the Chevy BB in it's entirety.
