Any recommendations for building a motor locally?
 
I'm looking to either having someone build my motor locally or buying a short block and having a shop install it. Anyone have any recommendations or experience with this?

Nice. I see we're in the same boat by the fact that we're both boosted by superchargers. Let me know if you hear any recommendations as far as compressions ratios.

Are you going to be selling your supercharger? I am thinking of ridding my SBD and going a different route.

I'll def throw money on top of the kit. It doesn't need to be now, whenever you are ready.
