C.E.P. can supply all of this, but you need to go in with your eyes wide open and know what you want and why.
The Dry sump is a perfect example. You don't need this unless you really load up your car with sustained Gs. For a street car this is unnecessary This is designed to protect your engine from oil starvation. The sideline to this is you get some extra hp as well. I don't know how much extra but I've heard at least 20whp on one motor.
If you're really serious about this I have a 16v project that is probably more than 70% done that I doubt I'll finish. I would consider selling it, but you'd be shocked at what top notch engineering and building costs.

Hmm, well just for curiosity what would you sell it for?
And CEP's stuff is decently priced, yea? I think I saw something price related on their site. So far they seem slightly cheaper in some (if not all) aspects contrast to Lindsey Racing's stuff.
But for now, my main concern would be the manifold and headers (probably cheap to get made I would assume compared to everything else anway), then the Engine block itself and crank, then the head (since the head is going the be the most $$$ of this project it seems, I'll save it for last)
