I have been away for awhile. I did search some, but I guess I did not search correctly. I will try again.

Thanks!

Give SDPC a call. They were the first to do the LS2 402 and have built countless without problems. I bought mine from them in Jan-05 with no problems. Doesn't burn oil and still runs good.

My SDPC 402 with L92 heads is running great. They come with the covers and valley pan you will need.

I have had my sdpc 402 for about 2 years now and it runs great. There are a few other locals around my area that run there motors and have had no problems either.

Just ordered my 408 from LME. After months of searching they seemed like the best bet place for my money.

I decided to order a 416 from SDPC. It is only $490 more than the 402. I ordered it yesterday. I hope to install it sometime in June

I've got a SLP 402 w/L92 heads. So far I like it.

SLP would be the last one I would get.
Had a serious issue with SLP's customer service when I was building my 402 concerning an oil pump.

Anyways. My 402 is from TSP. Great motor, great customer service, Jason helped me every step of the way. Still running strong.
