I really think that you ought to give consideration to 36 sedan's post #9 (or something similar, shopping for the best value), and then concentrate on adding to it as you can afford to do some upgrades, like heads, cam, intake & heads at the right time. Just a thought, something else to consider, but it might not work for you considering what you've already got in hand and especially with your budget of US$1400.
Best of luck to you in your decisions and your build. The IROC will be a blast!

A old time trick for the Canadians wanting race stuff was to paint up/ polish an old piece of crap engine and come thru customs with it-pick up a nicely repainted, built engine -throw away (discard, exchange) old one and return stating it was same engine at customs----

They always bought used race cars down here as tarrifs were very low on used stuff but extremely high$$$$$$ on new ones.

Come across to Michigan and see Pat McCarthy in upper/mid Mich.

Thanks, that could be an option, but sadly, by the time I got the thing here (Canada) it's likely to be well in excess of $2K. You're right though, all things considered, including exchange, taxes/duty, it may prove to be the best way to go.

Luckily, I have some time to decide as I have a driver's side floor to replace and some frame patching, too
