It will be something to watch and see if they offer more piston options...
Strange they have not made a formal announcement here on the forum about it..

On another note, I too find it odd there was not a formal announcement. They're usually pretty good about getting the word out about improvements and new products.

People are skeptical and bitch about presumed quality when things are "too cheap". I have sold several vehicles and engines for a considerable ammount more on the second go-around because i raised the price over the first time. Its like corvette parts, a lot of corvette owners wont buy patriot heads because they're inexpensive, and they "must" be cheap quality and have qc problems. Last time i looked AFR heads have valves falling apart. Sometimes the $ dont = Quality.
Id buy one.
But I already have one from somewhere else.

The price changed but you now get shipping & crating included... The blocks are 100% perfect & go through the exact same procedures all other TSP engines go through... Just because something is a great value doesn't mean there's something wrong with it.
This is intro pricing guys so order one for you & a friend!!

So shipping and crating are a wash. Are they new G.M. blocks or are they seconds?

well them and scroggin are the only 2 vedors that even offer a 427 budget short block and whats crazy is they are using a $3000 block. Totally kicks *** and makes me wish i have $6000 sitting here so i could just upgrade to the 427 over my 403. But then again the 403 has enough power on the street that it makes it tough to get traction as is. If i were to do this again a LS7 427 wet sump pieced together crate motor is what i would do.
