Clayton Shortblocks

Who has them and are ya'll satisfied with them? Was going to build a 383 but after looking at the cost of rotating assembly's and machine work I think this may be cheaper. I am looking at this one in particular:

A friend of mine has a 383 built by the claytons and its a monster. Corey is a sponser on here and can answer questions for you. I am seriously considering going to a 383 next year with one of their shortblocks.

After purchasing le3 heads and ported intake by him and getting him to spec me a nitrous cam. The car will definitely be going to a 383 with forged internals. Not sure who are what I am going to go with but I am just looking into my options and opinions. This short block seems like a really good deal being it's all forged and has ARP bolts.

They are a very reputable and well know shop here in the chicagoland area. I would buy anything from them and their expertise is next to none. They are a very good shop and customer service is the same.
