I'd recommend DSS.

Just what would you order from them? Complete (crate) engine or custom-built to your specs?

Crate engines, they mass-produce. For a mass-production operation, they're one of the better ones (Keith Craft is very good also).

If you're looking for someone to build you a custom spec engine, then those builders (good ones) are generally low volume, higher priced and scheduled out 6 months in advance.

I don't know if you read about the Billet Specialties' owner's new car (Troy Trepanier built), but my motor was built by the same guy (not Troy T.) down in Mokena. Not cheap (at least 2 x DSS), definitely a long lead time. He's been building for many years. He prefers to work on 'interesting' motors and can be choosy (likes things like old Packard straight-8's). You have email.
