I was thinkin USA racing engines but dont know of anyone with personal experience. Im building this motor myself and sober this time I think lack of sleep and being under the influence of alcohol contributed to my problems.

I wouldnt let MTI touch my **** with a 100 foot pole. Meatwad the people you are talking about is Nickens racing and they are expensive and Im sure I can get just as good a job done somewhere else for less. Boring and honing a block isnt hard or require a whole lot of skill.
