I believe Lemons has dealt with them and had nothing but high praise for Kyle and crew. I'm sure he'll chime in.

They've been on my radar as well.

Ive dealt with them for my build. They seem legit as of now. I would try them out. Evan (Lemons12) has a good relationship with them. Follow his build for results but their pricing on the blocks seems to be unmatched by anyone else.

I purchased a shortblock from Kyle for my jeep, 6.0 bored .30 over with flattops. Kyle was great to deal with and the quality was great. Have had no issues. I would buy from him again

I've been on the phone with him off and on for many minutes over the past month, I initially wanted to buy a 370 ci iron block with forged pistons, about a week later I called and had him build me a fully forged 408 stroker.

Great guy, full of information, and is willing to share.

Just ordered last week, amazing customer service so far. If the product matches the service I am in fantastic shape.
