To go with the bottom end, the top end porting, including heads and maybe valves will push it another $5-6k, unless it is a DIY project. A full blown 415, 427, 441 stroker passes $20k like it was up on jacks, especially if it is all farmed out. And, add the drive-line hardening like dual clutch and 31 spline axle spindles (which you'll need sooner or later) and maybe half shaft upgrades...and my "500 package" 350 suddenly doesn't look so bad

But...you only live once!
