Buck -
You can't go wrong with stuff from Tom Nelson. The quality is undisputed. He used to get ragged on for being slow (if you knew how much time he spends on stuff as unglamorous as head gaskets...) but I have a fairly complex build-up and he got the long block and everything else put together about 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule and impressed the heck out of me. (The holdup for the dyno testing is a one-off ATI balancer that is taking 6-7 weeks to hack out of a forging) I could even call him during lunch when he was stuffing his face and he would stop feeding and answer my questions or change a component if we thought that it would work better. You just don't find that kind of customer care most places - especially since we are at opposite ends of the country. Oh yeah, and if you can, he likes you to go to his shop and watch your motor being dyno tested. If not, he will film it for you.
Anyway, just my .02 cents.
