Speed-o-motive is very hit or miss, like a lot of race engine shops. I have heard of quite a few complaints and problems with ASSEMBLED motors. I do know one guy with a BBC that was partially done by speed-o and he is happy.
 
I would check out Beck Racing engines, Fast Times Motorsports, Sonny's Engines, or ASR. They aren't necessarily the cheapest, but they are among the best IMO.

Hey Mitcho,
                      Sorry, can't say that I've heard of them, maybe another
lister can help out there.  For that price though, its gotta be a short
block.  For comparison, check out SpeedOMotive (www.speedomotive.com), they
are supposed to be the stroker kings out on the left coast.  I bought my 383
crate from Joe at All Chevy (www.allchevyengines.com).  He builds a good
engine.  Maybe someone else has dealt with Coast, but reading their web site,
it sounds like they are more into the F*ord stuff.  Good Luck.

Here is the link to the specs on my stroker
