Hey Scott or Brad at FFHP,
This is Dustin from Jacksonville, Florida. I just ordered a 408 from you guys on Friday I think.
I got your call and gave you guys a shout back about the CC info and my address and everything but I think everyone was outta there. I just wanted to make sure you get everything you need so you guys can get rolling on it and make me faster!
Gimmie a shout tomorrow if you need any more billing/credit card info.
As for everyone else, these guys are great to work with and I'm really pleased with how I've been treated thus far. Brad has really stepped up and helped out with picking heads and adding his two cents to steer me in the right direction to meet my goals that I've set. Great job so far guys!

I'm with you. I'm getting a little frustrated. I ordered my 408 3 months ago and still nothing. I payed my final balance last week and was told that I will see my shortblock on Monday (5-1-06). I have been leaving numerous messages since yesterday with to return phone call. I finally caught Scott on the phone in the morning today who told me that he will ask Brad about my motor and call me back. Well it's past 8 pm on Wednesday and no call back.
I was one of the unfortunate members of this board that got taken by AP Engineering's "Mother of all Shortblock Sale" and I do not want that to happen again. Please someone from FFHP call me and let me know whats going on and where is my shortblock.

Guys, I jumped on this deal as well and have been jerked around a bit as well but please understand something. FFHP are known around here for offering a quality built product. Now, granted, they don't have very good customer service skills at the moment because it was basically Brad building engines by himself. Now Scott has been hired on and they are taking steps to improve the overall customer experience. They don't rush the motors and that's what counts. Their projected delivery dates fell short multiple times with me but honestly, all I care about is the fact that my **** is right so I don't have to do this again...until I swap the heads for some ETP 255's and go with a custom single hair dryer set-up.
I just got my tracking number yesterday and I will have my 408 tomorrow.
Hang in there guys. I know where you're coming from. I've been in your shoes for a while now but I think I can finally see the light at the end of that damn tunnel.
Good luck guys. I hope you get em fast.

I meant to call you back yesterday, but by the time I talked to Brad I was on my way to the bank for a meeting, I emailed you from there to give you at least a small update. You and everyone else WILL get your engines, we recieved more orders than we expected, the C5 turbo kit R&D has slowed other things down, all of the sudden we have/had like 4 major installs going on, one of them a 427ci LS7 sytle setup in to an F-body blah blah. Brad was over whelmed to say the least. Our iron block source dryed up, so we ordered new iron blocks from GM in some cases(took a beating on that) but did what we had to do. All in all we are working hard to resolve our backlog and move forward. We apologize for these delays.

Similar story on my end guys......and my 408 was one of the 2 shortblocks that was stolen a few weeks back
Brad stepped up to the plate with a nice upgrade option that took some of the sting out. The biggest problem was everyone had a piston backorder of 4-5 weeks. As luck would have it I was able to pick up a set of JE FSR -29 brand new off Ebay for a song that very next weekend.
Considering the order was placed on Feb 7 they did not quite make the two week delivery being quoted
But I thought that a tad optomistic when I placed the order. I am trusting that this shortblock was worth the wait, Brad seems like a good guy, had a great idea, then was just overwhelmed with the response he got.....Hopefully Scott can clear out the numerous full voicemail boxes, make contact with the customers, while Brad is pumping out 1000HP LSx motors
Just got word from Fed Ex....be home between 1 and 5 Tomorrow

We made a few mistakes this time around. The last short block sale we ran we limited it to 10 shortblocks/longblocks combined. We were able to swing that one without a problem. So we decided to let it role this time and it bit us prettyhard. only now do i realize that to much business can hurt. All of the little and big projects we are working on along with these engines have put a hurting on all of us. Hell it is 11:22 here and i just got done dynoing a car. Now i have to finish up a head and cam install before i get to go home. We are working around the clock to get all of this stuff out and we should be somewhat caught up soon. I wanted to thank all of you for being so patient with us even though i know how it feels.
Brad
P.S. Sorry for the poor english

You will get your stuff and it will be right Brad and Scott will make sure of that. I have had them do a few motors for us now and they are very strong cars. Be patient and let them work on your new ride it will be so worth it trust me.
