Default What vendors will build, install, and warranty a "stroker" setup?

I've been strongly considering selling my low-mileage, H/C LS6 and getting a 402 LS2, iron 408 or something similar to put in my daily-driver Z06 and make at least 500 rwhp NA with a fairly streetable cam. I'm sure some vendors offer things like this. I've gone to pretty much every website listed on here but would like to get the input of everyone on something like this.

So, who will build, install, tune, and warranty a stroker motor for me?

I think most offer the 1 year warrantiy if installed by the vendor and it stays N/A.

Is there a warranty on the GMPP 427? That could be an option too. Even if there is no warranty, the chances of it messing up are pretty low.

I am talking about the 7.0 you get right from GM, not the SLP block.

Thanks for the responses so far. My thinking would be to order the motor and have it all built and ready to go. I would either drive to the shop or have the car shipped there, have my LS6 removed (to be shipped from the shop, I'd have it sold ahead of time), and have the new engine installed. I wouldn't want to be without my car for months on end.

We do a 1 year warrenty on parts/labor. I would recommend trying to find a good shop close to you. It should only take 1-2 weeks to turn around that job.
