LME has a STELLAR reputation and their customer service appears to be top notch and they offer a great price on their forged iron 408 shortblock (utilizing awesome forged internal parts).
They are building my 347 forged LS6 blower Longblock as we speak and its great to get a live body (co-owner) on the phone, 90% of the time that you call who is willng to take as much time to answer your questions. That to me is HUGE right there as many tuners are lacking in this area, and don't forget LME just built the twin turbo motor that ran into the 7s a week or two ago!!
Force fed inducdtion also has a great price going on now and I have heard good thing about then in general!!

FFHP are really great to work with. I got my 408 and everything else from them. motor is kick ***!!!! Brad and Scott at FFHP do a good job and back their stuff up.
iron 408 you seeking? or a Ls2 based? SHIRL who was earlier mentioned as builder of a 418, has a wonderful rep on here. I plan to call LME on Mondayto refernce this 408... good luck man!

If you call SDPC ask to talk to Kris Jones. He's KJ@SDPC, the active one on this board from that company. @ HPE ask for Erik. Any other shop you can talk to just about anyone.

Eric is no longer at H.P.E. He opened up his own shop. He still is located in TX though. Here's his contact info erik@hkracingengines.com
I'd HIGHLY recommend this guy. Not only does he have great experience with these motors he also offers a N/A warrenty. He just got done building me a iron block thats almost ready to fire up...
PM me if you have any questions.....
just curious for you guys that have bought motors, what was your setup for the motor, and what was the price tag on it. im looking for a new motor over winter and i was just curious on the price range im looking for for certain setups
