You could always take a smallblock 400 , bore it .30 and stroke it.

Any dirt-track racers in your neighborhood?  They can point you toward the best machine shops and answer your questions regarding cost.

Ask them, since building up a 400 is very popular.

I've been out of the loop too long, and never built a motor for pump-gas anyway.  I never spent under 5K on a motor, but mine were built for extreme performance.
