My Forged 347 with Lunati Crank, Pro Billet Rods, Forged Pistons, LS6 block, Absolute Speed stage 2 6.0L heads, Absolute Speed ported LS6 intake, 78 mm Throttle body, Kooks Steeped Headers, Mezeire Water pump assembled, old engine removed, dyno tuned and warrantied is running me 10,280.00 Although it wont be finished for another week, im more then confidant that i will have something very similar to what your looking for, with only the pistons being different. Its not cheap, but it will last.

I would do one of two things. First, preferably use a shop that is within driving distance. If not possible, use a big name sponsor who has been here awhile like MTI, Cartek. If you use a smaller guy and make a big purchase, then something happens and he leaves the board and you don't have your order then I can tell you there will be no offers of help from people who could probably help and you will be left hung out to dry. Take it from someone who is living it. I'm sure the "little guy" sponsors here are great, but after my experience I am wary of the whole sponsor thing. I'm sure I'll get flamed, but I'm 10.5k in the hole on a military paycheck, so whatever.

Bravo, im an E5, i know what your talking about. My post above explains it all. Wife about **** a brick when she saw the bill. I went with a smaller builder, but would have gone with many of the larger ones had the price been right. Ive had nothing but good service from many of the above mentioned names.
