Default Best Options for shipping/delivering a motor to HKE in Houston?

I believe the shop should be close to having my motor out.... what do yall suggest? What is the least expensive option? I am sure I can pay Erik to ship it back or find a way to pick it up?

Basically the same issue. Still not fixed.


Driving me completely insane and sucks ***.

The car cuts off at 5200-5300rpm every pull and on the street. It looses signal/timing for some reason and then all the unburnt fuel explodes in the exhaust and at the wrong time. Completely violent in my opinion.

RPM has replaced all the crank wiring, crank trigger, cam, and everything else. Only thing it can be is the reluctor wheel or crank back and forth in the motor. It ran fine for a long while and now this happened.

Sucks but it is what it is.

Hate to hear that man. You've been through the ringer with your build.

Justin's pain was greater than mine... If this doesnt fix the car I swear I will spend 2009 parting it out and work on getting a C6ZO6!

If thats the build from the other "engine builder" in Houston I've heard about that. That is far beyond ringer there. You should have gotten some KY with the engine. I had a bad enough experience with my junk and probably wouldn't have handled your probs as well.

They are making it right.
I just tried handling it sanely and as professional as possible.

If you are not in a big hurry, I'm going to Houston with my truck in the next week or two. As long as I don't need to wrestle with that engine of yours too much in either end, I can probably fit another motor in there.

Doesn't cost you much.
