Keep in mind that you can slowly work toward 360. Most of these parts can be slowly pieced together. On my old engine, I started by adding clutch/flywheel, intake, exhaust, hi-flow cat, computer, front-mount and radiator (not in that order...) as I had the money. Each time the car felt a little faster and was fun again. Then the engine went, but the supporting parts were more or less in place to go ahead with a single. That way you don't even realize how much you've spent, vs have 10 large all on your credit card at one time...
