who built your 408?
who built your 408? For those of you that got a 408 from a performance company, I was wondering who you got it from? Has anyone had theirs build by ARD out of Texas? Advance Racing Dynamics is the name I believe. Thanks

Call BRIAN at LME/Late Model Engines, out of Houston, TX, and a forum tuner here (he usually always answers the phone) and he will get you hooked up on a killer 408 motor at a GREAT PRICE.

+1. had mine build by them
Brian over at LME is a great recommendation. I was torn between TSP and LME and could have flipped a coin to decide. I feel that comfortable with both, you can not go wrong. Either way I would go with one of our site sponsors, better customer service and real references with proven performance over and over. Some things are worth the extra couple of hundred dollars. Just my .02

Mine was FFHP but knowing what I know now and all the headaches I would have spent the extra $$$$ and had someone like Wheel to Wheel, SpeedInc, Texas Speed, LME, etc build it... A bigger company verse some small shop that might not be open the next day and take yours and peoples money.
Erik Koneig is building my new 408 for me right now. wouldn`t go anywhere else. LME did my first 408 build. If you give Erik a call you will understand why I went with him. Ask around about him. He is the best Period! Already acouple of people in the thread feel the same! Call him!

LME is building this Yankee his engine!
The guy who's actually putting the long block together (John from J&T's in Long Island) had nothing but good things to say about them and judging by the posts on this forum they don't seem to have any issues.

TRT is putting my combo together. Erik Koenig will be building mine shortly...... based on the feedback and what knowledge he has shared.... I am confident I made the right choice...... Of course TRT will be selling and installing it.

Texas Speed built my all stroke 395 LS1 that lots of people told me would'nt hold together because of the long stroke small bore but hey its almost 4 years old and countless 7k shifts and still going. They will be building my next big motor and soon.
