LA 360 budget build ideas

Dan the man said

With budget, I mean to use pretty much what I already have such as the block, if rebuilding the stock heads isn't cost effective then I would be willing to buy aftermarket heads. 2nd, to not buy the same part twice like the carburetor, cam etc. I was thinking that $5,500 should get me a decent engine.

Budget $5500.....
You have 360 block...
$1.550 scat Stroker kit...
$1.200 for machine shop to prep block and install Stroker kit..
$700 on Black Friday for Speedmaster fully assembled aluminum small block heads to the door...
$350 cam & lifters...
$150 Black Friday Speedmaster air gap intake...
$50 Summit billet double roller timing chain and gears...
There's 4K spent and you pretty much have $1,500 to buy a carb and some of the small stuff like head bolts and whatnot... oil pump etc...
You should be able to fart on the gas pedal and get 360 horsepower out of that combo....
