Ok, who is going to build up the ultimate cheapo 5.9?

Do you mean a cheapie 360 buildup thread, similar to 318willrun's $400 318 thread?

I just found a 360la with roller cam on craigslist in Sacramento for around $300. If I had a truck to get it, that would not give much wiggle room for building, if I couldn't get the guy to come down on price.
