Default ls1 longblock package

i'm pretty new to ls1tech, i've read here before but never posted. i have a pretty straight forward question.

i'm pretty new to ls1's although i've always been an advocate of the engine. i'm starting a project soon and i need to do a lot of research. the project is the ls1 conversion mazda rx-7, details can be found at www.hinsonsupercars.com.

i tend to only know the very biggest of company names like lingenfelter, doug rippie, dynotech, agostino ect. the problem is that the longblock packages cost more than my whole car.

what or where do you guys recommend sourcing my work and longblock from? i'm in southern california if that matters. i also can't do my own work because i'm in college and i don't have time, tools or space (hence why i'm asking for a source of work and hardware).

i'm looking for 346ci. strengthened bottom end and extensive top end work. that's all. compression can be stock or slightly more than stock.

something like this: http://www.dynotech-eng.com/ls1_ls6_350.htm
or this: http://www.dougrippie.com/ (top end ls1 motor)
or this: http://www.agostino-racing.com/pack...ong1&sm=sm2_hp3

all these packages are missing things here and there and come with stuff i don't really need, like exhaust system and intake, but you guys get the general idea of the kinda numbers i wanna pull.

any helps is really appreciated.

On the right side of the screen is a banner for AP-Engineering. Check out their site and then call them up. Lots of poeple on this site have been more than happy with their prices, and more importantly, their service. They are local to me, so I had them rebuild by stock shortblock and was impressed by the work and the service.
