Quality SB engine builders

I was planning on going to MRL for a build, and now that I'm' ready Mike is no longer in business. I did a search on this forum ands the web, but didn't find anyone else that just jumped out at me.

Can anyone here recommend a build for a motor build? Its a 340 motor for street use with a 4 spd, looking for roughly 450-500hp/500lbs, but needs to have good street Manners. I'm also in upstate NY.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks,

btw - cant seem to change title, should read SB - small block
MRL GONE?:o
