I have seen several of Dwans big blocks installed in some boats that I have worked on, and I wouldn't ever dream of sending anything his way. To many motors that he has built have had problems. I can think of 2 pairs of motors, and another boat out west the we put one of his motors in, and there ended up being a lawsuit over it since it only lasted 30mins at the lake.

I have been using Nelson Brothers for years, and never had any bad luck with them. Plastigauged 1 motor from them and haven't done it again. +1 for Teddy. Nelson Competetion Engines is the place to be if you plan on using NOS. Havent seen anything that wasn't bad ass come out of his shop. He will be doing my 572 for my El Camino. +1 for Chris. Pletchers Built a motor for a friend of mine, and it also came out good. Run's 6.0's in a 3500 lbs. chevellein the 1/8th mile. Plenty to choose from.
