Rick, at RHH....I got mine built by him w/ a Trickflow H/C/I package. 320hp/340 tq
Also it was built to be boosted and has a lower compression ratio. His quality, service, and knowledge is outstanding.

get your hands dirty and do it yourself. you cand do it for around a grand with a good ebay kit. there's even a guy on ebay that sells machined blocks ready to be assembled. he sells them for like $300. you can get a budget stroker kit for another $600. put it together yourself and save yourself some money. you will still need to get it balanced though. but it shouldn't cost that much for a machine shop to do it for you.

Is it problems with their blocks or engines that were actually assembled by them? I want to build my first motor and I was thinking of getting one of their bare blocks.

I have a CHP 331 with a girdle and I've had no problems. It has about 8k miles on it now, but it isn't my daily driver anymore.

Let Rick (RNH) build you a 347 if he isn't too busy. If he is, I would try CHP. Rick built my 347, I would NOT have let anyone else do it.
