the nice thing you have with a crate motor vs doing your own assembly of all or part of the engine is having someone accountable if there is a problem. not that there aren't inconsistances or problems with crate motors, just that a crate motor from a specialty company like SLP will have a lower chance of a problem and you already know what kind of power to expect.
another nice thing about a crate motor is the time it saves. having to order and wait for everything takes weeks and sometimes months. compare that to a crate motor you can have at your door with in a few days of buying it.
you may want to ask some of the other shops in the area what they charge for a complete engine too. places like harris speed works, ttp, and js performance
are all in the general area and also have the ability to prepare a complete motor for you.
