We keep quite a few short-blocks in stock ranging from 346-454 cubic inches, from big compression to low compression for boost, with a variety of different rotating assembly options. Shoot me a PM with your goals and ideas and I can put together a detailed quote for you. Chances are we have something in stock that will fit your needs very well!

GMHTP mag just had a issue with a lot of shortblocks... I'd talk with a few sponsors and compare prices/parts. My friend has a TSP 402 with MS3, LS6 stage 3 heads and makes 490whp. It's very quick for a budget combo.

Katech is one of the best, awesome company and race proven products. http://www.katechengines.com/katech_inc/

Pick a sponsor - you really can't go wrong as all are very good. You usually do not see hacks related to LS1tech.

There are other GREAT shops out there make no mistake but you cannot go wrong with HKE.

I do have to honestly say I have only seen but one HKE build but seeing what they do there is no one better. They take no shortcuts and are as familiar with these motors as anyone in the country so no matter what your application they know what to do to get it right. NO SHORTCUTS with these guys.... All the little details are covered...

I hope my stuff stays together for a while but when it goes he will soon be getting the call for the upgrade.......
