JMS Racing Engines only charged me $3436.00 for my build.
It would've been a tick less costly, but they did a certain amount of hand work.
Only because I didn't complete my research & didn't find some off the shelf parts that would've saved that cost in hand work.

my dream setup would be a fuel injected twin turbo 300.

Forged pistons
forged rods
ARP rocker and head studs
roller cam w/ roller lifter and roller rockers
fully ported intake and exhaust w/ cleaned up bowls
1.94/1.60 valves
clifford 4v intake set up for the massfloefi.com's mass air fuel injection
custom made headers for 2 T3 turbos off a 2.3 turbo coupe Thunderbird
14lbs of boost
intercooler from a powerstroke

I'd have this in an F-150 backed by a T-56 Viper spec 6-speed and a built 9" w/ 3.55s or 3.73s.

Looks good, but Minimal P&Ping is the Best option. Because if to much P&Ping is done, you loose the benefit of P&Ping the 300 in the first place.

then i will just do it to the intake and not the exhaust, that way i keep the exhaust pressure there to help spool the turbos quicker

The T-56 bolts rights up to the 300? Thought they didn't have a 6 speed that fit this beast...

309 cid with moderate head work EFI exhaust capped with Super Trapp disc's inserts to get the right "toune" a cam with just the right grind. Weber style TBI & DUI distributor with a decent control system for the pair. I'd bolt on a TCI AODE. I'd have it spinin' 355 gears. Oh yeah! just for kicks a TCI Outlaw shifter with paddles on the wheel. I'd put it all in a 2200 lbs FFR Roadster just ta see what it could do. Maybe someday spice it up with a turbo but I don't think I'd need it.
