Default Any suggestions on an engine builder for a 406 ls1?

Got a friend local that has his stock ls1 block cracked. He is looking into building a iron 406 ls1. Any suggestions for a good engine builder? Has anyone had a especially good or bad experiance? Thanks!

I bought a forged unit from A&A corvettes in Cali and their 408's have a great reputation with FI guys.

Where are you from? There are plenty of good sponsors (us being one of them ) on this board. Best is to find one near you and do a referrence check on them. Try to find one that has been building LS1's for a while.

AP would be my choice for a great motor that isn't too expensive.
