why not have PRH build you what you need ?

I got estimated prices back from 3 engine builders. All three are just shy of $14000 dollars for a complete engine. Allow another $3500 for the conversion from small block to big block, and the cost is just not justifiable with this car. 

Cost. The price for a pro built complete engine is not in my budget. Building a big block engine myself, from scratch, after machine work, would save maybe a few thousand, and would take quite a bit of time to finish. That is an option, and a learning opportunity which I enjoy. That Magnum 415ci small block looks good on paper. But may not be a good choice to run in a street car in Phoenix, °110 + for most of the summer.

I am talking about him building a small block, I am pretty sure he builds them also ? I could be wrong.
