I would have a machine shop do the shortblock, you need all the clearances checked and everything has to be perfect... piston to wall clearance depending on piston material and that all changes if your NA or FI and power levels...
a good machine shop will charge 500-800 to do a good shortblock that will last for big power and be reliable.
