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.
I'm in Fairfield and looking for my first 360LA to build on a budget. It would be great if anyone here can point me toward one in the area. I'll travel for the right deal.
