First buy and read both Jim Hand's and Rocky Rotellas books.
If $4k was my limit, I would stick with iron heads, intake and probably LBHO manifolds. I would put $ into the rotating assembly (forged crank, rods and slugs), choose the right cam, converter (if going automatic), ignition and carb.
If it's a first-build, See if you can find an experienced builder who will help you put it together yourself.
