I'm currently saving money to build a potent street/strip mustang.

I'm not looking for over the top horsepower. I want the piece of mind knowing I have a built engine that can handle what I can throw at it [ Yes I know even a built engine can fail ].

Modular Powerhouse [ MPH ], Modular Mustang Racing [ MMR ] , and VT seem to be the places to go....

I know I'll be spending around 6-8K. I'm also selling my other 2 cars to help fund this adventure. I want to be around 500-550 Hp and yes I'll be building up my car in the suspension and drivetrain department.

Just wanted your guys input on who you went with and how much you have invested?

Al Papitto built mine www.boss330racing.com

He is very good, but he is also very busy and the waiting period is pretty long.
I have $6k in my engine

I haven't made the jump (or dump in $$$?) yet, but all those mentioned by yourself are great builders.

i bought mine from Kieth Craft. the Shortblock has done great so far, but i do not recommend them. their customer service was terrible. one of their moron employees told me i was being unreasonable for wanting my engine after it was already 2 weeks late.
