Have my 350 apart and looking to upgrade the entire rotating assembly to a 383 forged kit. Something like one of the DragonSlayer kits at Flatlander Racing. But given the machine work, balancing, parts and the limited time these days, I'm now considering going to a 406. Any recommendations on where I could pick up a solid shortblock and what it would cost?

At the swap meet I went to today, they were selling short blocks for 400. I bought mine for 200, but I got a rally good deal.
