I am just wondering what companies anyone has used or heard of that has a positive reputation and good quality short blocks? I want to build my own so I can say I did it and be proud of it but I'm thinking it might be cheaper to find a short block. I've found a few companies, but I'm just seeing what others have used.

 

Golen Engine Service is pretty good; GM High Tech Performance did an article on an LT1 rebuild and they used GES for the shortblock

Well that's good to know. That's one of the sites I found and I really like their all forged 4 bolt 396. I want to power add it as well so 4 bolt and all forged is a must!

What about these guys? I wouldn't mind buying at least a rotating assembly either and a 388 LT1, it's different. You would think how wrong can you go with collecting parts an selling a kit but you never know I guess.
