Depends ... best may not be best for you, what do you plan on doing with the car ? Plan on re-using the stock heads ? What mods do you already have ? Obviously .... You wont need a Callies Crank, Compstar rods or forged pistons if it's just a daily driver without ever having plans to supercharge or spray it .... so a little info here will save ya tons of money when it comes time to buy!

I believe Karl Ellwein is taking a break from making engines. But if available, you won't be dissappointed.

Anyone will put together a long block for you its more of a price point thing. I wouldn't say you need a 4 bolt main block just becuase you running motor only and have no need for it. 2 bolt main would be fine just make sure they use ARP fasteners.

You really have no need for a 4-bolt if it's not seeing any power adders. That crank isnt going anywere with 2 bolt mains. But if you must its about $1000 in machine work and caps.
Good luck.Building the LTgun.
