I wanted to see options for reliable 450-500hp NA motor setups without using the weak Factory 302 2 bolt main block, but a 351 2 bolt main is an option also is a Coyote setup, LSX setup, etc., and the cost involved? I know a Dart block 331/363 from intake to oil pan with using the Factory wiring and Factory K-member is around $9K-$10K. On a stroked 351 2 bolt main block it should be a little cheaper than a Dart block 331/363 maybe around $7K-$9K from intake to oil pan with using the Factory wiring and Factory K-member. I have seen $6600-$6900 for a New Coyote motor with the Harness & Gas Pedal setup but you have the extra cost of the K-member and Hydroboost brake setup. I would like to see the LSX cost since I always hear it was cheaper to build, I know they make motor mount kits so you can still use the Factory Foxbody K-member but I think you have to change the oil pan but I have seen good results with a 5.3 but you would have to do work to it to make 450-500hp and keep it NA and how much would that cost? I have seen stock LS1, LS2 and LS7 failures but I don't know if they were bad years or they needed extra work to keep them alive longer and how much would that cost? I know you can buy some of this stuff used to bring the cost down be it Ford or Chevy, so what's a 450-500hp NA setup and how much would it cost in parts to get it into a Foxbody?

I did but I still want to see what it would cost from other people, and I sent you the link to that clean roller that I found if you want it.
