Any decent engine shop should be able to build you exactly what you
described. Stay local if you can, that way if there are any problems you
don't have to deal with long distance support, you can take it right back to
them and have them "fix" any issues. And for the hp rating you are looking
into that's pretty mild and wouldn't take much to get out of it.

Subject: DML: Turn-key 5.2L Magnum engine
Hypothetically speaking....
If I wanted to purchase a remanufactured 5.2L Magnum engine that was nearly
ready to go ( i.e. just add T.B. , fuel rails, air hat, coolant, oil &
the accessories ).....
Where would I go?
The engine I am looking for would *look* exactly like a stock motor from the
outside ( this is becuase it street driven ) but with:
* better than stock cam
* upgrade roller rockers.
* perhaps some porting of the heads.
Goal is: 270 to 290 HP at the flywheel on pump gas with a mild cam and
Mopar PCM.
Is this something I should go to a performance shop like:
Hughes Engines or KRC Performance?
Or can I go to a engine reman business like:
Marshall Engines or Jasper Engines.
