Try LME or Tick.

There's not a lot of options anymore for folks I'd trust on a mail-order basis...

I was going to mention Thompson Motorsports until you mentioned they didn't respond back. That's to bad. I got my shortblock from them a few years ago, and they've always provided great customer service

I just called Texas Speed & spoke to a nice rep about a 408 short block. ?? Along with having a 383 short block, from them, in my car for 3 years.

No response from vendors is probably being swamped. No excuse, but thats what TSPs deal is. From what I've read here, when you can actually get ahold of them they are top notch.

Also very likely. When places are swamped usually people/builds in the store come first, then calls, then email. It's christmas season too, i'm sure they're all very busy.
