their are a bunch off the top of my head in no order

lme
speed inc
futural
hke
kurt urban
billy briggs
epp
virgina speed
they all build great motors some use diff parts cost is gonna vary from 3500 to almost 6k for a short block alone. its all breaks down to prep work and if they balance everything etc. you need to find out your power goals and go from their.

Do it yourself and know it is done right. Read and learn what you don't know. Blow it up and try again!
