There are many different ways of getting good power.

Just be realistic with your finances.
You don't want to be one of these dreamers that starts something and lands up selling it off as parts for half what you paid.

600rwhp is EXPENSIVE. No matter how you slice it, it ain't going to be cheap.
The trans, rear, engine, power adder are going to cost quite a bit, let's not forget brakes, fuel system and suspension. If you don't have all these parts already, i wouldn't be surprised if the build costed 20 grand.

Keeping your goals below 500rwhp and staying NA could save you an absolute ton of money.

A good NA 347 or 351 will make between 425-500rwhp (351 based), done with a well thought out setup consisting of quality parts.

You're right I don't want to get in over my head and not be able to finish it cause of lack of funds. Can you lead me in the right direction with a 351 build. Everything from a 302 work with a 351 as in h/c/i? What's a good block to look for. If I can keep from stroking it that's a plus too, saves me money for other things. I can live with 500hp or less. Thanks in advance.

hello

are you looking for a windsor or cleveland block.

you will spend a ton getting 500 reliable hp at the crank out of a 351.

He'd spend a lot less starting with a production 351W block than he would with a Dart.

Besides, 500hp should easily be attainable with 400+ cubes and the right H/C/I package. Heck....guys have made 400hp with 302 builds.

I'm not far off of 400 crank horsepower with my 331 and have some pretty basic off the shelf parts in there.
