First, I must say thank you to Dan(Turbo50) for making my engine happen. Without his skills and reasonable pricing I would still be sitting here looking at a Mustang with a motor that has no compression. His initial quote for the work was almost half of the least expensive machine shop I talked to. Not only that, but Dan has real world experience racing with Mustang 5.0's, so I would give him an edge over the machine shops.
Dan does top notch work period. He's also completely honest and no BS. He recommended to replace only stuff that needed replacing. Didn't try to up sell on a bunch of stuff that would not benefit my build to make more money. In fact, the motor I brought him was in pretty good condition(not the motor that lost compression as mentioned above). He actually told me that there was no need to rebuild it. How many shops would tell you that? None that I know of.
Dan also documented the entire process with photos. He sent me over 30 photos basically step by step of building the motor, all of the clearances etc. I would consider that a 100% real deal blueprinting of the build process. He also provided all receipts of parts purchased to complete the build and went out of his way to find a camshaft for me.
On top of all of that the build came in under budget!
What I'm trying to say here is that if you need top quality work done at reasonable prices you need not look any further than Dan Turbo50 for your engine building needs and more.
Here's only a few of the pictures he sent during the build process.
Here's a couple of pics after I got ahold of the long block from Dan:

Thank you. Yeah, considering I went high 12's on stock h/c/i and a very tired old block with that old paxton... I have no doubts it's gonna run hard(mid low 11's).

Glad to hear it! This is my intermediate motor. I'm eventually going to have Dan build a Dart Block all forged stroker setup for me. But I needed something that will last up until that point. Since he has a lot of experience with engine building and has all of the right tools needed to do everything right I went with him instead of machine shops who could care less if they have my business of not.

Dan can get Dart blocks. As a result of this I will most likely be building one earlier than I originally thought.

I also forgot to mention that Dan answered every single question that I had without hesitation/frustration. This was during the entire build process. Meaning while he was building the long block, I was installing all the rest of the stuff, while I was dropping in the motor, after the motor was dropped in and started, and even after driving it around... even today more questions, more answers. Customer service is far beyond what you would see at any machine shop. Plus most machine shops wouldn't have any idea on how to properly set it up once its dropped in. Try calling them up to ask how to set up this or that or what torque this bolt or that bolt is after you've already got your motor from them.
