Default How to get ahold of HKE

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Erik Koenig at HKE. The number I have for him doesn't work anymore and I need to get some work done to my motor.

Think he is in the process of moving. Try email and you may still have to wait a bit.

Yep, last I talked to him he was moving back to La Grange. It's unfortunate, because having him here in Houston was very convenient. Did a lot of work helping with my 383 stroker build.

Someone posted on the vette board he wasn't taking any more work / moving and he was in the process of backfilling old orders or refunding $$$.

I always shot him an email and waited a few days. Dude was crazy busy when he built my motor. Then he started moving shortly after so should be done now.

I finally talked to him through email and he said he would give me a call. His phone won't accept calls any more since he said that he couldn't breath without it ringing that's why I couldn't get him on his cell. Now if I could just get him to call me back.

I have a couple of buddies getting engines, the move has really put a strain on him. Erik has always been wildly busy and takes forever, but the move has exponentiation even his average lack of quickness. Builds great engines though, I wish he'd hurry and get caught up because I have another toy in my driveway that I need to build something for.

I'm getting close to a year now waiting on a 408. The move has put him even further behind than he normally is.

He's a great guy and awesome engine builder. He's doing a few motors for me.

I know they just completed the move, I'll PM you his cell.

Obviously the other number doesn't work anymore because they're at the new shop in LaGrange getting set up.

Any Erik customer knows he takes forever but bang/buck it's the best deal on Earth for a hassle-free engine.

They're in LaGrange now, can't just drop in anymore, which is kinda a bummer.

Always enjoyed Erik / Gary trips to Taco Cab!

Go out on a limb and build it yourself. It really isn't that difficult to do imho.
