Erik Koenig with HK Enterprises is one of the best. Incredibly meticulous. His engines won the Pump Gas Drags this year and LS1 Joe has the fastest NA LS1 with one of Erik's motors.

I used LME with no issues, and my block takes some abuse with heat and juice. Everything was perfect right down to the crate it came in.

Well thats all in how much you wanna spend my friend. I'd say the best shop would be W2W, but your gonna drop some serious coin goin with them. TSP is a good place to look. Along with LME, SDPC actually has some really nice options & pricing too. A local guy & member on here(ChevyChad) is running a Procharged T/A puttin out 632RWHP on a SDPC forged short block. Runs like a charm.

I think Chad paid around $3200 shipped for his SDPC forged short block. You would need to either call Matt@SDPC or PM ChevyChad to double check.

LME has never had anything bad said about them. They build a lot of motors and stand behind their work. Nothing wrong with Erik, but equaly there is nothing wrong with LME.


Is that the same Terry that used to put PRC's heads together? If so stay away from him.
