4.7 Liter Best Stroker from this list?

[AFMan]

Hi all, please read below and provide opinions regarding these options for an inexperienced newbie. I'm really confused and could use some help on the best way to go:

I'd like to start off by apologizing to those I've pesterd with this subject, but I'm new, inexperienced, and need some help here. I'd like to stroke my Jeep with a drop in 4.6 or 4.7L stroker engine. As much as I would love to build my own stroker, I don't have the time, the tools, or the real knowledge(yet) to do so. With that being said, I'd like to get a drop in stroker from one of the vendors. Now, here is where it get's REALLY confusing. I've gone to several jeep forums, but I'd like to find an overall opinion of what's the best built stroker engine I can buy please.

I'm looking at the following, and I think I've ruled out anything built by Titan due to many issues I've read about from others. I'm looking at the following stoker kits, and I'd prefer "new" over "rebuilt."

First off: What is the difference between these two Mopar Engines???

Next we have GOLEN Engines:

Also Custom Design Performance:

Lastly ATK:

I'm inquiring on what people have heard is the best all around with mainly focusing on reliability, warranty etc? If you have one of these please chime in on your experience, otherwise I'm extremely open to people's opinions on these options above. Thanks all.

New Guy: How come you apologized for pestering all these folks, when this was your first post? Do your research on the stroker sites if you will...but if you buy one out of a crate, do it from Hesco.

I think you are right about the T engines...but Hesco costs more andyou get more. A long rod, forged pistion engine and get one from H that has been prebroken in on their dyno, so your cam will last.

PS: If you gots lots to throw into the wind as far as greenbacks go, get one from MOPAR, that's built by...?...with a roller cam that sounds like 505 Performance .

Check out western engine supply. They built me a 4.7 and will crate ship.

Hesco is the best but the most expensive, Titan is the worst with a few horror stories, and the others are somewhere in between. In terms of value for money and customer service, Golen are probably right up there so you could check theirs first. Here are some links that do work:

I'm sorry guys (I do really apologize ), I haven't been around in a while but did he really post a link for a MOPAR Stroker, with ROLLER LIFTERS?! Y'all must forgive me, I did just move from Fort Lewis, Washington to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and am still breaking-in my Stroker.

Welcome back soldier. I'm in Gig Harbor a half hr from Ft. Lewis. Mopar is now selling a stroker w/ roller cam and lifters if you want em. Probably no better than your engine, if as good. They want about 8 grand for one, like it must have diamond studded pistons. A rip off for sure.
