IAG Performance are the top dogs in the built engine game. Have a warranty too, so long as it's installed by an IAG certified shop or IAG themsleves.

I AGREE WITH U HERE MAN, BUT THE ISSUE IS IAG DOES NOT DO REBUILDS OF ANY ENGINE OTHER THAN THEIR OWN, SO THAT OPTION CANT WORK FOR ME UNFORTUNATLY...I NEED SOMEONE WHO WILL PULL APART MY ENGINE, AND REBUILD IT ALL BACK TO SPEC

I don't believe that is the case.

Give them a ring or email them.

IAG did an oem rebuild on my heads and i got a new shortblock from them. honestly that would likely be your best option. starting from new you wont have to worry. and it's really not that much more expensive vs rebuilding your current block.

Okay first you need to turn off caps lock.

Second you need to tell us where in the world you are because that will determine the cost and speed of completion - shipping your engine across the US each way adds time and money.

Subie Performance in Germany are 2nd best to IAG.....think there pricey tho because of the Euro Dollar.

I would look into Turnin Concepts in Cincinnati. I live in Florida as well but had them do my build (new closed deck block). Engine has been running great for almost two years now, about 18-20k miles and has been 525wph+ the entire time (650whp now). The build has been everything tht was promised and they are priced very reasonably. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about all things Subaru. I would love to try out an IAG motor because they obviously build great motors, but I'm too happy with this. I'll be having TiC build me a new one when it's time to go to a bigger set up.

As far as getting closed deck, I sent my block to a guy in Florida named Jacob Gilmore 2 years ago, it's held up very nicely. He was originally under Emerald Coast Motorsports, but was in the process of moving the shop, as he bought their machine shop and moved down the road. I don't know if he is still doing it, or what his shop is now called, but I have the email address from when we corresponded if you need it.
