Don't always shop on price... there's a company that is always recommended because they have "great prices" but then you read the components and they are reusing cranks and don't actually own a dyno, just a "run stand". An Edelbrock carb is not a performance piece either.

$1,000 is a lot of money in the build phase but it often saves a lot more in time and $$$ down the road.

Cheap engines are cheap engines ... don't let anyone tell you differently.
