Who do you like now adays for a small block long block/build? I have some pretty good folks in my area I would trust, but just wondering who is the go-to people for a new build? I have looked at some of the shops listed here, some are no longer in business. What say you?

I can heartily recommend Brent Lykins.

How long can you wait? Get in line. If you're just planning your kit now the kit and engine might be close. If you've got the kit be prepared to wait a while.

Prestige Motorsports out of North Carolina. They are doing a ton of engines for Backdraft these days. They just finished my Shelby aluminum block 351/427, Borla 8-stack. Almost 580HP. VMS is getting ready to drop it into my car. Great customer service.
