How much would it cost to buy a block that could handle 500 HP and still be dependable?

Looking to supercharge someday, and with my engine almost at the 120,000 mark...I wanted to (tentatively

) consider how much it would be for a strong short block.

How much would I be looking to have to shell out for install (I am assuming, this is one of those things I wouldn't want to do....) How long should it take for someone who knows what they are doing? How long should it take for someone who has never done it before (me

).

Thanks,
DoranW
