I think they blew up their first motor. Most would guess pistons or rods but what took it down was a cam bolt if I remember right? I have a 5.3 347 on order.

Tim's Automotive, Springfield, MN. They have been building 5.3 block spec motors for circle track guys for several years. They have a basic block package with Mahle forged pistons for $1700. I had a bunch of parts and wanted more features and Tim was nice enough to agree to do it.

I think I confused them with Hellbent's. My memory is about as long as you know what.
