Forged 347 short block

I need a new short block. Want to spray 200 shot at most occassionally. Forged pistons and good rings ,forged rods if needed. Mainly a nice street car but want it to live if i spray it. Any suggestions on short block builders from experience. opinions or suggestions appreciated.

Opinion: If you want it to live, don't spray it. Would like to note that this is an opinion, not Gospel.

Thompson would get my vote for a budget style build. I did mine myself cuz I tried to get myself on a budget but wish I would of just bought one done and swapped my top end on and been done

But I did stock crank, compstar 6.125 rods with diamond -2cc pistons
