I had one of those too. Used it for a boat anchor.
Seriously, someone here will be able to help you with your project. Start out by stating your goals for the engine.

You should be able to get lots of hp and torque out of that block. Have no idea what you're going to have to do to adapt it to a Dodge though. Don't think you can bolt up a 455 to a Dodge tranny.
re: budget bummers. Reality is a cold hard fact of life that you have to work with and overcome if possible. Living is the reality, the engine is a toy.
