Default Those with SDPC or TSP shortblocks.....

Any issues with them? I am narrowing my choice down to them and Livernois for my 418 LS3 shortblock. I am amazed at how many places will not even call a customer back!

I have a TSP engine but just got shipped and should be here this next week.
They had great customer service and I liked the price. They do everything in house.

Give us a shout. Like mentioned above, we do 100% of our machining here in house on our own equipment. This allow us to really taylor specs and clearances to your application as well as the ability to turn out these quality engines in time frames we used to never think possible!

http://www.texas-speed.com/t-Enginebuildinfo.aspx

There's a link with a little info about some of the machines we use and the processes we go through to ensure you will receive the best engine possible!

And of course we still have competitive prices when you compare apples to apples

I went with Livernois. I've had zero issues getting a hold of them and they have been great.

Here's a link to the Texas Speed machine shop.

We have one of very few in house machine shops dedicated to LS engines.

We're also the only LS shop in the country with a full cnc engine machining facility.

Every TSP short-block ships cnc digitized & blueprinted on our state of the art Centroid cnc block machine. The result is a block that is correct to blueprint, and everything precision machined down to the smallest details such as cnc stroker clearancing!
The reality is just the cnc block machine cost more than most typical machine shops spend on all their machines combined! But the result of that is we can build a engine that is second to none in the world.
Not to mention we have over 20 engines in stock currently & have a wait time that is very short!!

All of this out of our new state of the art 25,000 sq ft facility!

I tried to order a TSP motor but between not getting anyone on the phones, then when I did the "computers were down" then never recieving a quote or any follow up, it wasn't hard to go elsewhere. I was suppose to have a quote sent to me and never got anything so it is hard to purchase anything without a price or quote.

Sorry JC70ss I somehow didn't get a message to me to call you. I'd be happy to talk if you'll send me over a pm with your phone number.

Sorry the lines are busy some guys, we have 16 employees, and 5 of them on the phones. It's just a crazy time of the year so we're working as hard as we can to get back to everyone.

I did finally get a hold of someone and they said they would email me a quote within 24 hours. Never got anything. Just something you should know so you can get some more business.

Watch out there, Jason...somebody at the tax office might see what a sweet setup you guys have and think they need some of it LOL.
I've been through most of TSP's facility, it's a state-of-the-art facility for sure. And good folks to deal with, too!
