What are you getting for $3500? In my opinon I like finding a reputable shop locally and letting them do your work.

you need a reliable machinist whos not smoking the pipe at the job.....

I have the 302 crate engine.... those motors are bullitproof.. and when building an engine, the set up needs to be reliable as well....
Whoever built the motor, tested the set up many times for reliability and durability ... go with the crate.
