For sure, get the edumakashun. Then you can get a nice paying job to support your toy habit. My project is simply a DT466 in a Super Duty, and I've had the truck for 2 years now with no engine.
Stock, a mechanical 466 will go to 2750-2850 with no load. You can tightetn the gov springs to get a couple hundred more rpm. I talked with Max, the owner of Hypermax, and he was saying the 466 can make 600hp before you need to do injectors. Basically a higher flowing pump, and more air. He also said you can have 1000hp for about $10k.
No doubt balancing would be a good idea, since they dont run velvetty smoooth out of the box(especially after advancing the timing). The truck in the video was 230hp, and now is about 270. It cranks up to 3150 no load, and about 3k under load, just by tightening the gov springs 3 clicks. There's some great deals on truck 466s on pulloff.com in the for sale area. not too many of them, but every other week or so one pops up.
