PLstang 9.21?!?!...vids now!...please?...
I have heard that the mmr products arent too bad, I guess its more the wait for them thats a pain. There pricing is pretty good.
I am not sure how limited your funds are but the shortblock I want is the 5.3L 3V 323 shortblock from dss racing...Its the new Iron boss block, a little heavy yes but there is not replacement for displacement.

(Sorry for the highjack)
I got my block in 1 week. There was a $200.00 extra charge for expediting! I think that's pretty reasonable since all of my stuff had to be coated and such!

I'd just stay away from that billet oil pump. It's junk in my opinion. I run the stock one.

If I had the money I would get the Livernois 298 stroker!!!! I'm looking for other more pocket friendly alternatives ( I know that a big part of that is the aluminum block, but I wouldnt mind the extra few lbs of the iron block if it translated into good saving$.

It's a good point. However my speed shop worked out the price of forging my existing block vs. buying a new one, and the price is about the same. It might save you $100-$200. The labor is more intensive with the Stock Block is what I'm told.
