Depending on the condition of your block to start with and your budget- a good 74 (+/-) block with stock bore will clean up at .030 over.
Add a rotating assembly, machine work, good heads, manifold, cam kit w/roller rockers and lifters, double roller timing chain, carb to suit. Add a few hundred dollars for the machine shop to assemble the engine. I did a spread sheet on this a few months ago just for kicks and it came to around $7500-$8000- about the same price as buying a complete engine from B2 Motorsports (a forum supporter/vendor and all around great guy).

If you go for a new block add $1500- $2500 to the price depending on what block you go with.
