Default LS Crate Motor Specialists

I have a build thread up in the Project Updates sub-forum; here:
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=59423

The short of this post is that I'm roughly a year out from pulling the trigger on the powerplant for my car. For the longest time I've had my heart set on an Ls3 or Ls7 crate motor with a T56. I've since considered an LT4 as well if the numbers work out.

Call me lazy, but wondering if the forum could provide some LS crate motor specialists I could create a short list of.

I'm tracking Blueprint Engines and Mast already; but curious if any of you could provide some alternatives, I'm just not aware of.

I can't justify anything more than 30k all in for the powertrain. Blueprint has the builder series which has an Ls7 and T56 in a kit that gets shipped to your front door for under 28k as of April 2025. I can get behind that idea.

There is one local engine builder in my neck of the woods (Jancen Motorsports out of West Seneca NY) I've contacted. I'm just not sure it's the best route. Or maybe it is? They seem legit but I've never had an engine built before and this is unchartered territory for me.

I've got time to figure it all out but want to lock it all in before the money starts burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew.

Mine is from Texas Speed and Performance.

I would also check with Dale at Pro Touring Store. Friends have bought a couple LS engines from him at very good pricing.
