Let's see, 3K probably got me a balanced and blueprinted block, alum. edelbrock heads, and the rotating assembly which consisted of SCAT crank, SRP pistons, SFI 157 tooth Flywheel, damper, but not much else. Now if you wanted to stay with the normal 351 c.i. then you probably could get a longblock assembly with iron heads. Where I ran into the extra costs was with the stroker and EFI setup. I spent a ton of $$ on my car. My fiancee says too much but what the hell does she know :-) My main objective was to have the fastest street legal mustang in this area and I think I've accomplished that but until I hit the strip I won't be sure.
Regarding the gears, I think it's be a great idea because if you do the 351 you'll only benefit, right.
