If were talking price for car which is pointless, but ill chime in just for fun. Buy an 87 5.0 ... Rebuild the block, spray it nasty, hook up some slicks and a tremec and you might be pushing 10k with other safety precautions .. axles, aluminum driveshaft and what not. What are you running? 11s right? niiiice 
Buy a stock 87 Camaro for like $2000, drop a 383 Small block chevy in it, AFR heads, Single plane, carb, etc $4800 bucks, 540hp.
Here is the car craft article,

So thats $6800, say another $1500 on tires and traction, and your running mid 11s for $8500. Spray another 150-200hp on that and your into the low 10s or high 9s.
