I had it done by Elson at Loop 70 Auto. I have known him for years. He is "old school" but will build what you want. However if you are on a timeline, you will not get one. He works on what he wants, when he wants. He had my block for 10 months. It was delayed because of the line bore. He did splayed caps, plateau honed (with torque plates) and assembly. The rotating assembly was bought and balanced from another company (I will have to look this up).
I did not do the guages in my car, so I do not have any imput. I am not a fan of the orange. This was a huge selling point. The best way to compare is to find two cars on ebay.
Wow, 10 mo. and I thought the guy doing my block was slow (been wating 2 mo. now, we'll see if he can "beat" your record, haha) Thanks.
