If by "big block" you are thinking FE, then your $10k budget isn't going to get you there. 427 and 428 blocks are going to blow your budget to pieces -- a 390 less so. And a Windsor is not a big block. Whatever engine you choose, 289, 351, FE, or 385, I would let a trusted engine builder choose your block, not you.
