That might be a nice resource, or sticky, a couple of budget builds on an L98. Say a $2k and a $4k build, and what to expect with the result.
I know the guy that works on my car told me if I ever want to build it, I should find a used block, build the block, then swap it. Seems to make sense. A few hundred more to start, but you can sell your old motor at the end to make it back.
Resurrect the thread, throw out the snipers and lots of us will watch closely.
There's 2 motors, both over 400HP for $2000 and $2500 those would have been PERFECT solution and gave him more than 300 WHP, not crank HP.
That right there is a nice budget build. It would be way cheaper than buying parts, screwing them together, and having the block machined. Pay for install, $1000 and you're back on the road with 400HP for under $3500.
Freshen up the valve covers and TPI, and it looks stock, and runs aftermarket. I'd throw in a set of long tubes just to finish it off.
