The guy that will sign the contract might be the guy that really needs the money because he is lousy at what he does.

I 100% agree with this. I work with one of the premier LS builders in the world and I would tell you thanks but we don't need your business if you wanted a contract demanding delivery dates, we would certainly give you our best guess on completion but no guarantees. There are too many things out of your control with the delivery of parts when you get into a custom built engine, some of the parts can't even be ordered until the engine is partially assembled and as far as buying your own parts as Todd suggested, don't expect any durability guarantees if you start specing out the parts that's what you're paying the builder to know.
