AES Built my short block, they were great to work with and kept in touch throughout the build. Great customer service and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I got what I wanted.

Legend Racing gets my vote!
There service and support is barnone. They have a bunch of really cool builds going on right now too. The new dart lsx block turbo build, a 383 f1 real street build, a nitorus ls3, a twin turbo LQ9 silverado, and were about to do a really wild 6.0 boost build in my car.
