I personally think the best J-Yard motor build up is to pull a Chevy 454 or Ford 460 out of a fullsize truck, Rebuild it from the ground up... go .010, take the Crank .010 over to match. Port the heads, bigger cam, and slap on a 6-71 Supercharger and make an easy 600hp on Pump gas.

All told it should cost about $4000 including the 6-71. Now thats a J-Yard Special!

I've got that motor build up in a magazine someplace... i'll try to locate it. Obviously its magazine article so it shows you how to do everything and how much the crap costs. Very neato piece of literature!
Sounds like a good build, but like you said earlier, big blocks are EXPENSIVE, and they don't fit too well into little cars... Actually, I've seen a few big block RX7s running around, they're quite fast.

I'll look for my 400M buildup.. This engine has lots of potential, if you get a steel crank, you can stroke the thing out to 460ci, you can get cleveland heads that flow more than most big blocks need. For $2800 AUS, which is around $1400 USD I think, you can get assembled aluminum heads...
