SB stroker - looking for advice on engine builder

Brian's a good bet - and close to the west coast. I've got a friend in Australia and shipping effort and costs IMO need to be a factor in your decision. Shipping a crated engine cross-country to get to the container can add $500 to a bill quickly.

Friend had HEMI shipped from PA (Barton) to AZ, think FedEx freight got him for $250....
