I am from Indy and have had a few dealings with hawkins for parts, but not the machine shop side. If the parts side is anything like the machine shop, i'd rather get screwed by Indy or A&A.

As for building a Mopar engine....do it yourself!!!!!!!!!

Buy the parts you want..get the machining done (double check everything)..and build it! its not near as hard as your making it out to be. If your near Indy I'll help ya out all i can. Have built a few performance big blocks, not played too much with small blocks, but its not that much different.

Like I said, you wanna do it and save some $$$, shoot me an email, always willing to help out another moparite.
