Who builds reliable race/street engines?

To put blueprints prices into perspective. I had a stock stroke 360 built a few years ago by a well known mopar shop. I already had aluminum heads and the pistons as well as intake and carburetor. The engine made 415 hp and 420 ft lbs. cost me 5-6k. If I did it again then I would go with a BP engine. Although I still believe your power goals don’t require a crate motor.

Do you have suggestions?
