Default Rebuilt engine supplier wanted

Hello guys, I usually hang out on the Model A forum but this time, I'm posting on behalf of a friend who is about to build an old school hot rod. He wants to find someone who can supply a complete engine rebuilt and who will stand behind his product. Any suggestions posted here will be forwarded or reply direct to him by email: [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Must be several well known builders available...you may want to narrow it down to type of engine and stock/custom and from where you prefer to buy it US/Europe/Autralia ?

I gather he wants Edelbrock (spelling?) heads, multiple carburetors and lots of shiny bits on a warmer than standard motor. He is expecting to have to buy in the US and freight it over here.

There are several builders here on the Barn that might be interested.
