10 sec. 318?

Yeah, my problem at the moment is patience to some degree. I've usually been a very patient person, but I've been itching for a project for a few years and finally have something in front of me that I can work on. At this point I only really have around $5000 to work on over summer. I would really like to at least do whatever engine work I go with while the weather is nice, so that's top priority. I realize I can't make a 10 second car in two months on $4000, but I would like to at least get a good solid base to work with that would be really fun to drive, hence the 400 horsepower now and blower later. However, it seems like it's dang near impossible to build Mopar stuff the ways places shank you on prices. I think my current plan of a stroker is within reach since I've seen rotating assemblies for $1500 and brand new heads for a a little under that as well. Assuming I can keep accessories and other stuff like ignition off of the engine already in it I would still have $1000 for an intake, cam, and possibly machine work and a carb depending on what I need. Does this seem reasonable or am I missing too many details? I know $1000 likely won't be able to finish that list, but if I can reuse the carb on it and if I don't need any major machine work I think I could get it running. Anyone know of a good version of heads I should be on the lookout for to give me more money to work with?

I bought a set of RHS heads for 875.00, granted there iron, but there nice, i'd talk with Brian on the heads (& the build), he sells a nicely prepped RHS heads for a great price, it'll support 500 HP, if you can get a rotating essemble for 1200.00, thats a VG price, especially if it comes with rings/bearings, so the heads & assemble will be 2500.00, that leaves you 2500.00 to play with, figure about 3-400.00 for all the block work, still leaves over 2K. You can comfertably build the engine on that 5K, if you decide to go with a 360, i'd skip the LA & look for a magnum, there fairly cheap & newer, less stress do to there lighter rotaing assemble, FI & low friction rings leaves little wear on the cylinder walls, even with higher mileage, so theres a good foundation, plus its a roller block, Brian put together a mild one & its making good power, i'd talk with him & get ideas.
