Realistically you don't need a rebuild for that kind of WHP as long as your compression is good. I would get a metal head gasket and maybe some ARP head studs and call it a day.

If you however still want the engine rebuilt I would reccommend Mazworx.

A good tune will do wonders also! The money spent will be cheaper in the long run, instead of rebuilding the engine again!

This thread should be a good start

Search for other members builds. See what kind of numbers they are getting, power band, and what parts they used to get there. If it is similar to what your goals are, build yours based on theirs.

Find a reputable shop close to where you live so you can get it properly tuned.
