318 build suggestions?

Budget. Ideally, looking for 3k and under, total for the engine, but can squeak up to around 4.5k if I dump onto credit cards.

Does that $3k include having to buy an intake/carb/distributor/headers?

If the $3k is used up on the engine, what’s left for a converter and gears?

Frankly, $3k doesn’t get you very far in an engine build these days.

What’s the price for the 318 short block?
