Which Motor should I purchase?
Which of these motors should I purchase, and why? My goal is a motor that will last a long long time. I won't be beating the hell out of the motor. Daily driver, drag strip 5 times a year. The motor will rarely see above 4000 RPMs.
If you have any experience with any of these builders, PLEASE share!!

You might want to think about SDPC again, they're having a sale during the month of July.

Futral built my new motor, but I would not hesitate to have W2W build the next one. I would not consider the others you list.

Wheel 2 Wheel will do a hell of a lot more than just assemble it and ship it little brother. They have an engine assembly room that is as clean as a surgical suite. They are top notch.
I do not know if there is much difference between the other shops, W2W just seems like a solid choice to me and everyone I have heard speak of them had been very impressed.
