Is it normal for the engine builder to want 50% up front to do these engines? When I had my engine work done on my corvette, the builder didn't ask for anything until he was done.

In my experience, yes. The engine builder has to front a lot of parts purchases, labor and machine work. In my case, a CSX aluminum block was a big upfront cost.
