hey check with Matt with the yellow ZO6 he got his 408 from texas speed. If you dont want to spend that much FX coatings may be able to find an stock engine for you and install it.

we are here to help 
let me elaborate further on my previous post . there are a lot of good reputable companies to the right that do engines and warranty the work . all you got to do is go down the list and find out what works best for you .
not trying to leave anyone out but i know first hand that mti does some good work and if you got the cheese katech will hook you up on the real .
There are a lot of options when choosing a new engine. Basically you have to set your goals and be realistic with your budget. Give us more info on what you want out of it and we can be more help.
Forged 346 short block will go $2500+
Forged 383 stroker can go for ~$3500+
LS2 402 forged stroker go for around $4,200+
LS7 427 shortblock can go for $6K +
Stock cubes you can keep your heads & cam. Larger motor will need additional parts, Heads, cam, injectors, etc.,
Race motors do not have much of a warranty. And most will not warranty it unless they install it.
Give a site sponsor a call and talk with them. let them know your goals and let them lead you in the right direction. Call a few and get a good feel before you make any decisions. I would post in your local forum. Find a local shop with a good rep. If you go with anything but a stock replacement, you will need a tune for it.
I hope this helps. feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any specific questions.
