^ Definitely can't go wrong with either of these guys.
Whip Factory in Plainfield, IL rebuilt my motor. Good price and good value. You'll probably need it at least sleeved? Is the block still useable at all? Rods like to go THROUGH blocks, which is bad.
Talk to Dave. Tell him Chris Fries (Freeze) says hi.

I have made my recomendations... And I never heard of that place.
Remember, anyone can make any car reach xxx whp, but how long will it last. Also there are shady shops around, so bringing them an R might not be the best thing.

I'm not trying to sound like a butt, but why are you concerned about all the internal upgrades if you can't afford a stock block???
Get the stock block & you'll have a motor that won't have a reliability problem. That will save you $$ in the long run.
