Have usually had decent results with local engine builders with reputable credentials. As a general rule, you can get the same engine with less cost than a factory crate motor, or a better engine for the same cost. It's not rocket science, it's attention to detail. Let your engine shop do those things that you can't, or don't want to do. Trial assembly is the most important step. Perhaps as important as the work they do, is the advice they give you.

Use a steel flywheel on the street. The billet steel one should outlast your engine. Use aluminum on the track if your race application requires it.
