you could probably do it with good heads and a good custom cam with a built shortblock to handle the large shot of nitrous (383 maybe?)...for $5000? seriously doubt it. The build of the shortblock alone is going to be in the neighborhood of $3000+, the heads will run you over $1000, and the cam is another $250-$400 depending on what cam you get (not to mention miscellaneous crap which you can count on at least another $1000, like timing chain, new lifters, rockers, bolts, gaskets, tuning, etc). If you can get everything used you might be able to scrape by $5000, but everything will be...used.
