new short block or rebuild?

[rculjak]

Hey guys, I want to replace my factory short block but dont know what route to take, the motor will make between 550-650 so I need the bottom end to hold, should I order a build short block if so which one or just get a shop to rebuild my short block, looking to spend around 2500us.

A Pro Bullet 306 short block from DSS can be had for $2000

what about chp motors, they have 331's for around the same price.

Those 306's and 331s, you can use the same parts as on your 5.0 (except for pistons) rite?? So if i modded my 5.0 I could go to one of those blocks later?
