Stroker build question
I have stockpiled parts and cash and am now ready to get a short block 408 built.
I know TSP is just north of Austin, I'm in San Antone. Will TSP build a short block with components I supply (less pistons)?
Another option would HKE in Houston but there website has been down.
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

HKE isn't in Houston anymore. Erik relocated his shop to La Grange, which is closer to San Antonio. Houston is home to LME and H Squared, the latter is owned by a formet employee of HKE.

Keep us posted
I'd like to follow your build, as I am undergoing the same transformation. I was initially building a LS to replace my Gen I 377sbc, But now I'm getting a bigger arm to swing and stroking the motor to a 408.
What kind of vehicle?
Keeping the fuel injection?
Good luck with this!

I don't think TSP will build an engine using customer supplied parts, but I don't want to speak for them. I think some guys have posted on here before saying that TSP wouldn't mainly because it's a too much of liability.

Thanks for the info on HKE. Do you, by chance, know how to get ahold of Erik?

It's for a 72 Nova that has a carb'd LQ4 T56, that has still need things to get buttoned up to get on the road.
I am wanting to start a car build thread to keep me focused and motivated. I work 11 hour days and go to school at night. Time is valuable.
End state goal is 408 fuel injected.
