I'd use your bottom end, or get a motor used off ebay or a junkyard ot wherever and have it built up the way you want it. I'd probably use the stock block/crank/rods and have everything checked/bored .030 and have the rods shotpeened/polished and go with a set of good .030 pistons. You could talk to a machine shop about a good combo and go buy whatever heads/intake/cam/roller rockers and have them build the motor up with new bearings,seals, etc. I'm sure you'd be able to have something put together that would be way better for the price of a stock or GT-40 crate motor. You could also check out ebay or do a search online and look at some engine builders sites, some of them have decent deals on prety built motors.
