Debating between going with

1. Coast High Performance (probe industries)
2. Roush Racing
3. Keith Craft

These 3 builders all need between 8-12 weeks to produce one for me, and am curious what recommendations people have. I also considered selling the car with the blown motor at a discount. Open to hearing people's thoughts. I value and trust so many of the great CC members here - I am truly grateful for any suggestions. I plan to reuse my intake, carb, water pump, valve covers, oil pan etc. I would also plan on replacing the clutch just for good measure.
2 things for you to consider...

1.) We can certainly help on a long block.
2.) Let me know details on your car, I have a customer seeking a Superformance (used) and this might be a decent 3 party transaction for everyone.
