These new style engines are NOTHING like building the old small bolck, or big block. I would recommend you call Richard at WCCH, and get in touch with Rex. Both great guys to deal with, and extremely reasonalby priced. You won't be dissappointed. I haven't been! Or......another idea would be to PM Zippy, and get his place's number. They're not a site sponsor, so I can't give out their stuff.

I know who you are talking about and they are located in Las Vegas. I've heard great things about them too. I lot of the Trailblazer SS guys are running there motors. I've called and talked with him too.

I'd trust Zippy before I trusted anyone else with anything regarding LS engines.

I've had such great experiences with WCCH that I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ship my block across the country to have Rex build it. Richard has gone above and beyond every time that I've contacted him.

My father is an engine builder who's engines hold over 40 national records, but he doesn't do the GENIII stuff. He also has a CNC buisiness that's just starting to take off. He seemed very impressed with my WCCH StageII 317's (he's not one for giving praise usually), that alone made me feel warm and fuzzy about my purchase from WCCH.

I've had a few motors at TPIS you can't go wrong there. Much closer to IA and they do a great job too. I currently use DRM for most of my stuff. They do mostly high end corvette projects but Doug is a great engine builder.

My .02 cents too

I guess nobody has "anything" to say about Texas Speed?
