stay away from carolina machine engines (cmengines). In 2009 I had to return (2) 496's because they do not know how to install the lifters properly per the instructions that come in the box... Rectangle intake ports mismatched to large oval heads... gasket sealer gooped carelessly to intake gasket (minor, but notable)... bad blue smoke from one bank (maybe rings not seated yet, but returned before they seated)... Heads were stamped "pass" but they advertised high performance heads... stamped steel rocker arms on a high performance motor... etc etc etc... I got my money back plus $550 labor after 2 returned motors. I give them some credit for the $550 labor, but the actual labor involved was triple that because of their shoddy work, imo. Wish I would have done my due diligence.. just google them and you'll see what I wish I would have seen before this fiasco.

You have a lot of choices. Who do you trust on a rebuild? Who rebuilds and dyno tests the motors or actually runs them before you get it. There are many fly by nighters, great sales pitch, great guarantees until you have a problem and then we know your are screwed! All your man hours removing and installing. You may want to take into consideration buying a crate motor from GM and then marinize it. Post what you decide to do.
