Here's a link to the engine section of my build site:

I bought all the parts for my engine and had a local engine builder put it together. I paid about the same as a crate motor, but I got to choose the parts. I also got to watch him put the engine together and ask a lot of questions so I can put the next one together.
I went with a hydraulic roller cam. I gotta disagree with Tony about a solid lifter cam. I would not go with a solid lifter cam for a street car, as a solid lifter valvetrain requires constant adjustment. Hydraulic lifters need to be adjusted once when you install them. Especially if you go with solid lifters, make sure your lifters, cam, and valvesprings are matched or you will destroy your cam in short order.
