I bought an L92 short block for $1500. Put in low cost heads (cleaning them up and a valve job was actually more than I paid for them....317 casting), and a cam kit in for about $1K and am very happy.
I know that blows your budget, but if you went the same route without buying heads and just used the ones you have, you may be able to squeeze in at $2K. Admittedly, I bought an L92 with a bad lifter in order to get a really good deal (replacement lifter was less than $20) and I already own HPTuners so I didn't have to pay for a pro tuner.
My route was a good choice for me, but may not be the right route for others.

thanks for the replies... it looks like I'm going to go over the $2k budget. LOL
I just ordered the 228r cam kit, dod delete, vvt delete, long tube headers, 4:10 rear gears, and now I'm trying to figure out which stall speed and which brand converter to order. any input would be helpful.
I've been told 3200-3600 stall. I tow a boat a few times during the year
