'96 cobra w/ vortech pushing 435rwhp on stock motor.. 87k mi on the clock with only the last 1000 or so blown. I'll be coming home from overseas with about 8 grand or so..

Thinking about either:

-Viper T-56, clutch flywheel etc., driveshaft, methanol inj (to help with detonation), Longtubes, wideband o2, datalogger, and some other goodies..

or

-try to spring on a Longblock Bigbore motor now, and save up for install and the other stuff later

I like having money to spend but hate having to make the decisions on what to buy :) What would you do?

Why don't you get your motor built for more boost. Upgrade to a T trim w 8 rib, get an 2003/2004 fuel tank, 55 or larger injectors, mass air meter to match, boost-a-pump, boost-a-spark and throw 20 pounds of boost down its throat? Plus a dyno tune and chip.That could get you going.
 
Pricing is rounded up on the high side....

Forged short block $4K
P&P heads $1k
Labor $1.5K
Throw more boost at it $1.5K (tune, injectors, fuel system, MAF....)

I just spent your $8K for you. :nice:
Seriously though, with that mileage take care of the bottom end first.
