I got a DSS shortblock (pro bullet 306), after shipping it was 2,299.95. That was the main support, new forged rods, new forged pistons, ball./ blueprinted, prepped crank, assem. and shiped. SO it was a bit more inclusive(sp?) than there cheaper 302 setups.
I was looking into just a "kit" but after the cost of machine work and assem. parts the cost was way more expensive. I was tore between the CHP/DSS and went DSS as they were able to answer my questions better, and from what I have heard they are better at the 306 (more so on the long rod motors) setups than CHP.
now you could get a Ford crate motor they run alot more and you get hyper, pistons, stock rods, ect....

The cheapest drop-in ready to go shortblock I know of is the Ford rebuilds, Summit sells them for around $1250 or so. I'd spend a little extra and at least get the base bullet 306 from DSS for 1500 bucks.

You don't want a new block do you? That would be just a waste of money if you ask me =) Just buy a block from a salvage for $50, and take it to you local machine shop. Tell them what you want done, and have them magnaflux it (checks for cracks) and I would recommend balancing the bottom end.
