here are a couple of aftermarket engine builders:

www.golensengineservice.com
www.diabolicalperformance.com


(Hmmm, these addresses did not light up in blue so you can just click on them. What did I do wrong? . Anyway, they seem to have good engines, but I do not have direct knowledge. Golens just had a big write up article in one of the monthly performance mags

Guys he's got an LT1, so those aren't direct fit. Only an LT1 or LT4 will work, unless he wants to rewire for a distributor and replumb for non-reverse cooling.
