*** 400/406 sbc BUILDERS PLEASE READ ***

[1BAD65]

Last month I had posted about doing a 305 build for my 65 C10.
Almost everyone said to just save up and get a 350 to build.
Well I took that advice and then some by getting a 400sbc out of a 72 Chevelle today. Its the 2-bolt main 509 block and it came with the original crank.
I left the heads behind because I already have a set of 906 Vortec heads that I am going to have rebuilt and drilled for the steam holes, along with a few other things.
The block is gonna get decked then bored .30 over and the mains aligned bored and honed then polished.

I have read of the compression problems that occur when Vortec heads are used with flat top pistons so I will need dished pistons.

Here is where I need everyone's help. I need you guys to post what parts to buy. I have no engine building experience as this is my first build. I have already bought the common engine building books by Vizard and Schreib.

I need a build recipe/plan to build a 406 for my 65 C10.
I need it to run on pump gas 89 octane preferably.
Will not be a show truck or trailer queen but will be a weekend driver during the spring and summer months only and garaged during the cold wet months.
I am on a budget..Lets say $2000 to $2500.
Nothing crazy just a solid mean muscle machine

If anyone could tell me which parts to buy I would really appreciate it.
Links to any build posts would also be appreciated
CableGuyO and CaptainFab I look forward to your input

Thanks again guys!
