"Budget"/"cheap"? You've got a set of $300+ valve covers on it & an oil pan that costs over $400 LOL

Humm... Cheep W5 Thats what I thought when I first started
I'm just starting on my journey into cheap W-5 engine territory...for a lifelong BB man! I handed a buddy a grand this weekend for a well-used set of heads, fresh from the shop, and set up for a roller, HS rockers, pushrods, dominator intake, and header adapters. When the Valiant engine gets tired, I'll bolt them onto my bushed lifter bore X block with 3.79 steel crank..so all I need is rods, pistons, and a cam!! How expensive can that be??? It's just a small-block right?? I feel like I'm sliding down a slippery slope as I type. Probably be a cheap deal right up until the time I drive down the hill into Indio!!
