If budget is a hard limit, I might even go with a less HP model that is turn-key than a long-block with more HP.
This is what I just did. Summit Racing had a 350 with 365Hp/400Tq fully dressed with a complete serpentine setup installed for 6k. 383 was the same price without the accessories and a few other things. I went with the 350 for ease of install, everything is new, and it's still well over 100HP than I have now. Plus, she'll run on 87 octane.
