Buschur Short Block vs. Others
I would like to make 500+hp reliably. Ideally, I'd like a sleeved built block, but I don't think I can afford the AMS build block. Is there a consensus on how good Buschur blocks are compared to others? I'm not wanting to rebuild for many years. Thanks for answering my noob question.

A lot of shops that don't build blocks themselves source from AMS. They're among the best.
What turbo will you be running to achieve the 500+ whp? The OEM block can support 500whp no problem, as long as the torque is kept in check. It would likely be more reliable than any aftermarket block you buy, to boot.
What shop are you going to for the work? I'd have a serious talk with your builder/tuner about their opinions. You do not need a sleeved block for a reliable 500hp.

I'm not 100% set on it, but I was thinking Motion Lab in Charlotte, NC. The reason I am thinking sleeved block is because it looks like the Buschur sleeved block is about the same price (or at least in the same ballpark) as a built stock block, and I thought it might be tougher. Not to mention it gives the option of running serious HP if I ever decide to do that, without doing another rebuild. But I'm still new to the game so I would take your advice heavily into consideration. What do you think?

Motion Lab is a reputable shop, and should do well with your car. If you have plans to go for some serious power down the road, then a sleeved block might be worth considering.
Take a look at what you realistically want to do. You lose reliability with big builds, so if it's your DD you're better off staying on the stock block with a nice turbo kit. Don't overshoot your goals.

You do not need a sleeved block for 500-600whp. I would look at English Racing.

motion labs is going to be hit or miss. There is a lot of good and a lot of bad, so pick your poison. Buschur isn't bad, but they're more known for their evo 8/9 and GTRS. Boostin performance, STM, MAP, and ams probably would be your best bet. Usually when it comes to stuff like this you're going to get what you pay for. Rickerman tuning also does motor builds
