Crate 360 vs DIY Built

[Bad Sport]

Any recommendations on a building book? there are tons so I never know whats a good reference. I really hope I can get this engine to push around 20mpg and 300hp, but im flexible on both. The fun factor has to be there, but it needs to be economical enough that I can drive this to work and school when I return to civilian life!

I like this one: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/How-Hot-Small-Block-Mopar-Engines/dp/1557884056#reader_1557884056"]How to Hot Rod Small-Block Mopar Engines: Larry Shepard: 0075478004058: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]


BTW, thanks for your service!
