It was good talking to you on Friday.
Let me know if you have any prospects for engine builders. I can provide a total package for you, engine, trans, bellhousing, etc, etc and can make you a better deal that way.

It was very nice talking to you as well Brent,you are deffinetly gonna be my tranny guy,we will talk about engine builders,but i have a guy out of California where i'll be moving thats building me 460 stroked to a 533 built motor,390 cfm aluminum heads,10:1 compression run on 91 octane. The motor will make 680ish HP and 720 ish ft lbs of torque,and i get a free dyno for $8499 that is a unbeatable price,but i still will take a listen to your suggestion,but that will be a really really really tough act to follow.

I'll take a shot at it. Keep in mind my engines are ready to drop in and fire...it all depends on what all is included in the $8499. Let me know and we'll do an apples to apples comparison.

T300zx,
The LS team was in San Antonio helping an LS427 customer this past Thurs & Friday but prior to that we were at the phones so I am unsure to what happened. I don't recall your a message. I was even taking calls on Labor Day because I know most customers are off work & in the garage with possible tech questions.
I appologize for the communication difficulties you have experienced. I would be more than happy to answer any of your questions regarding my products.
Toll-Free (877)572-2277 or 817-439-5721.
Sincerely,
Brian
LSC

I checked out that source and looked at the list of parts. What scares me is that no brand names were listed and there are many off-shore crankshaft/rod/piston/cam manufacturers right now (Hawk Racing, RPM, Pacific Pro, etc) and with this kind of pricing, I'm sure that's what they're using. The only brand name I saw was ARP and even it was spelled wrong.  There was also not a mention of MSD/Mallory ignition products....I suppose I could assume he's using Procomp for ignition?
There were a lot of things missing for a turn-key setup: coil, plug wires, wires, pulleys, PCV valve, water neck, thermostat, air cleaner....basically all the things that add up when you're going for a turn-key.
I use quality parts in my builds...Scat, Callies, Probe, Wiseco, Comp Cams, ARP, MSD, Canton, Moroso, etc/etc.
You get what you pay for...

The heads really don't bother me. With 533-550ci, you'll get your 650hp if you put Edelbrock heads on it. However, for that much horsepower, you need a nice bottom end and quality parts to back it up.
