You might try checking out Buschurs web site they have short blocks already rebuilt and ready to roll in several stages.

If you don't know much about rebuilding an engine, it's probably a good idea to have a pro do it. I'm not trying to sound like an ass. It's just not something you want to do on a whim with little experience.
What I'd suggest, is buying all the parts yourself, and having a reputable machine shop do the assembly, and balancing.

How strong exactly do you want the motor? Is it going to be running over 450+ HP, or stay under that?

Crank needs nothing. Just the pistons, and rods. Buscher has a stock crank in his 7 second outlaw class DSM.
