One question tho... Why no big block? J/K
I know the 302 has a much better supply of parts, but I see em every day. Ever thought about going with a 331 or 347? Maybe even a 351W? Just a thought. I envy you. 
My budget has to have some cut off point.  My 302 is out of a wreaked 2001 Ford Explorer with only 2,100 miles. My net cost was $750 for the long block, add another $2,000 to dress the motor. A FE427 will cost somewhere near $12,000 dressed.  I'm looking to finish the car (with paint) for about 26K. Also remember these cars are only 2,100 lbs, much over 400 hp is wasted due to limited traction. 
Cheers, Pat
