Default Where is the best place to buy a forged 347?

I have an Incon twin turbo kit that I'm getting ready to put into my '01 WS6 or '66 Chevelle SS and I need a forged 347 for them to go on. I'm trying to find a good deal on an engine, but I definitely want it to be dependable to hold around 20 lb of boost without any trouble. Anyone know where I should look? I am going to use a set of stock heads that I already have, so I only need a shortblock unless it's a great deal on a long block or complete engine.

Thanks in advance,
Creston

Couple of hours East of you is Cartek, couple of hours west of you is Speed Inc.
I would be confident with both shops and I believe they have pretty comparable prices on short blocks.

Also could look at Wheel2Wheel and Katech, they are in the higher price range. LME also does a lot of FI motors I believe

I recommend W2W Powertrain, Billy Briggs motors have been proven time after time in Mightymouse's, KP's, Ohio Boys, Stenod guys, and many other crazy fast cars.

+1 on Lingenfelter. I bought mine from them and LOVE it! And surprisingly, very inexpensive! It was also delivered to my doorstep 8 days after I placed my order.

I got my 370 built for boost from Weber. I must say they did a hell of a job on the machine work.. I cant wait to throw the boost at it.
