You should be able to find a local shop that can build a nice engine for your rig. MM was good back in the day but there was a lot of turn over and things got a little out of control at one point. I think the founders are gone but one employee is still running the business but that could be old news also.
Yes I've talked with a local builder and considering. But I also like the idea of a company that has tons of experience and knowledge from 1000's of builds.
