Trying to find a place that makes quality stroker shortblocks for a decent price. I thought about getting one from speed-o-motive, but the general consensus i see is that their stuff is crap.

This is a motor I had him quote a couple of months ago. I got feedback from two different members on here, they gave him a great rating. I bought a fresh 406 ci shortblock so I don't have any experience with him.

383 stroker, 87+ roller block supplied by him, Eagle 1pc rear main cast crank & SIR rods, fully balanced & ready to use LT1 flywheel (I have a T-56). 12mo/unlimited mileage warranty if he feels comfortable with you. $1699 + 155 shipping.

thats where i bought mine. the quality from what ive seen in my motor while finishing putting it together was very sound and looked very professional in my eyes. i have yet to have a bad experience dealing with these guys. very helpful, even if u want a really big cam like i did and he narrowed it down for me so we compromised. great service.
