Default Good place to buy built B18b longblock?

I have been searching the internet for a good place for a fully built custom engine. I am looking for a sleeved block but I want a place with good options like micropolished and balanced crank, and be able to get the pistons sent to Swain tec for their piston coatings. Can you guys throw out some shop names and websites that build good engines? Also, I have seen some who use stock bearings. Is that ok on the kind of power I can get out of a sleeved and boosted block or should there be performance bearings?

Thanks,
Eric

http://www.importbuilders.com has a pretty detailed web listing.

You can also IM Earl on here.

There's lots of places to get good blocks.

I went to their site and they offer one of the things I wanted which was the Swain tec. coatings (except they dont use their name). Of course on an all ready sleeved block they want $850 to do closed-deck mod, ARP bolds, and the Swain coatings. If you go to the Swain website they charge $41 dollars per piston for not only their thermal dome coating but also their anti-friction coating on the skirts which is not mentioned at importbuilders.com. Their annihilator package seems to be a rip. Its $1750 for a non-sleeved block.

All I want is a block with:
- better bearings
- polished and balanced crank
- maybe blueprinted?
- forged pistons with Swain coatings
- forged rods..shotpeened?
- closed/semi-closed deck sleeves

Sound about right for a good reliable block to handle boost?
