Default lingenfelter engine blocks

Has anyone bought an lingenfelter block or packages for your car? Im considering one of their packages for a future project. Should I go with them or spend my money elsewhere.

*edit* Oh yea the future project will be 500hp at the wheel with all other supporting mods ( headers, intake, rear end, suspension and etc). I was thinkin about their 350 C.i packge rated at 420hp, which should give me some room to work up to 500hp (researching other mods as well)

Bump,

I am also interested. The $2000 with an $800 dollar core charge is just too good to pass up. Please anyone who's bought one from here feel free to chime in and let us know.

Kickass motor. My engine builder looked it over and it's as promised on the web page. Zero oil consumption and no piston slap.

Purchased the Lingenfelter 383 Forged Short Block here last year at this time.
Build time was quick, about 2 weeks or so.

My stock blocks problem was piston slap & oil consumption.

The LPE block is forged, with zero slapping issues. The only oil issue is the oil getting past the pcv system (still using the stock type ls1 pcv setup), but did add a catch can to catch that oil.

I slapped in my own cam, and AFR heads.

I am very happy with the setup!
