In my opinion, reliability and best support rules out Roush.

Name recognition may hurt Blykins, as I do not know how widely he is known across the country. Although I wouldn't hesitate to use him or recommend him to anyone, you set the criteria of name recognition, not me.

That leaves Craft Motorsports for a SB 427 build, based on your criteria.

I am confused as to why you care about name recognition of the engine builder, unless it is some twist of perceived value at resale time. If that is the case, drop a 427 FE engine in it. Use Survival Motorsports -- Barry Rabotnick. Although Blykins and Craft can both supply you with a great FE, Barry has the resume you are looking for.

Also if you are concerned about resale value, there were other manufactures that you might should have considered, in my opinion. Not that there is anything wrong with your choice, it's a good car. Just not going to fetch top dollar years down the road.
