Default Short Block Suggestions
I'm looking for a short block, any suggestions.

I want a 4.2" Darton sleeved stroker 454, but I don't have two months to build a motor. I need something fairly quick. SDPC has 440ci motors in stock. Has anyone had good luck with SDPC. Does anyone carry sleeved LS2 short blocks? Any other suggestions for engine builders that my have something already balanced and blueprinted. For road racing.

Katech and W2W are the premo guys, but several other sponsors sell just as top notch stuff for cheaper.

Hell, I just saw that Katech has a 500 ci motor.
