What engine are you planning on building. It makes a difference. Anyone can build a good engine if you are looking at a small block. For an FE you could use Southern Automotive. George Anderson at Gessford Machine has been building FE's for about a million years, does a first rate job, and only uses top grade components, sonic checks, fully balances and bluprints each engine as well as test runs every engine before it leaves.
Locally a shop here in the Valley is TOE. They are in Suisun. They are among the best and generally build racing engines, NASCAR, et al. But that kind of talent costs. I just talked to a guy with almost 30k in his Iron 427 (NOS parts all through) You can have an all aluminum Shelby 427 for about $30k.
