Top engine builders in TX

Ok, so my brothers wanting a 408 for his '91. He's basically giving me blank check with the instructions "I want it to make a mess of 37" tires, handle a ton of :nx: and blow the doors off your (your being me) truck." So I started running some numbers for parts and I figured it'd be a lot cheaper to get someone to build it down there and then bring it home with us in February. He spied TSP's catalog, but nope I've heard too many bad things about them.

So who's got a good reputation going right now? That doesn't charge the 'Vette tax for anything LS.

Rex is an option. But trust me, shipping stuff across the border sucks balls. Just doing the research right now

My company uses a customs agent for shipping to canada and never have any trouble. Im sure is high dollar to do that but its a thought.

Why not have him ship it to one of us and then pick it up at the meet? I'm sure shipping from CA to AZ is less than CA to Canada. And if I'm coming for the meet anyway wouldn't be a big deal really.

Or if I end up not being able to go, ship it to Justin and pick it up from him.

Iv done nothing but abuse my little motor and it's never missed a beat. Very fast build and once completed called me about once a week for the first 2 months to check on it.

You were a very worried also about sending your stuff of and time frame.... I think between Rex and myself we made it a Cake walk for you. and pretty sure your motor was back in your hands in less then a month?? ... They have taken Good care of me and i try and share that service with others ... thanks for the chime in

On a side note, I'm about 2 1/2 or 3 hours south of you in buffalo. Ship it here and shoot the boarder to pick it up any time. Why wait till Feb?
