Default Engine builders in Texas,

I'm looking into buying a lsx 454. the the TCI 6x tranny.
Which texan shops have good reputation on building great engines.
I already emailed HKE and LME.
Any other shops you guys recommend ?

Thanks,
ws6kid.

I remember seeing Erick make a post saying he was not taking any more motors for a few months because he is so far behind.

That wouldn't shock me, especially with all the time put into each motor at hke. Even if you have to wait op hke is your best bet.

Very poor quality of machine work, and Brad has no business building a motor. Just my two cents worth though. And no offense to you if you have had good luck with him. But I know to many people that have not.

G&G in Houston or Glenn Behrens in Round Rock.

I have motors from both. Not somebody who "heard something" and jumps on the bandwagon.

There are two recommendations in this thread that make me however.
