I shopped around a decent bit and looks like a forged 5.0 long block for a 32v car runs 5-7500 or so but then I still have to get the heads checked over or find some rebuilt heads (~2-3k for a pair) and reassembly. I can't even find a company that'll do a long block without you supplying good cores.
Older SBF stuff is a lot cheaper than the mod motors. Even the newer coyote motors are cheaper to build these days due to parts availability. Harder to come by a set of decent heads at the moment than for other platforms.
Coyote swap is a whole can of worms in itself. When appropriately set up the stock 03-04 long block can hold 8-900hp or so, but the big words there are "appropriately". I either have a ring problem in #7 or burnt a valve from some detonation. 7 & 8 both run hotter than other cylinders in the earlier cars due to the flow of coolant.
