You are better off having a professional shop build you a stout bottom end for F/I and then selling your stock shorblock as this is more cost effective. You can get a great f/i 346 cid shortblock built utilizing excellent forged internals build for around $3,500.00 by several reputable LS series engine builders, and then you can offset this cost by selling stock shortblock.
That is the best way to go which will require the least amount of downtime, b/c you get your forged shortblock built while you continue to drive you car, and when its already to drop in your ready to swap out motors and then sell the stocker!
