Built shortblock but from who???

I'm ready to purchase A built forged shortblock for my turbo stang. I would like to heAR some good vendors. Pm'ed AES and they seem to be a good choice. Called and emailed ERL and no answer for a week. Was looking @ TSP site also.

I would like something capable of 1000-1200rwhp .

AES built my short bolck, I shipped them my block and crank overall a great experience and Fraser was easy to deal with and kept me updated as the build progressed.

I'm wondering this too. I have a perfectly fine ls7 but want to swap a 10:1 forged piston in it. Trying to find prices on having a shop just swap some good pistons into my ls7.

Not to hijack, but what short and long blocks are actually in stock? Like if I call you tomorrow to order something, what's on the menu?

I was at ERL not long ago picking up my new motor and I saw a couple of "in Stock" blocks sitting on a shelf... It all just depends if you want what they have ready or if you want to have it custom built.

I'm runnig an ERL 427!

TSP is usually referred to as budget around here, but they have excellent service and came highly recomended from my tuner. Have had no problems with mine thus far. However I am not in your power category. My goal is only 750 rwhp.
