That's really nice on the quick turnaround on the motor. I've been wondering myself who could build me one here in houston locally with a quick turnaround time.

Well I'll let you know my experience with LME in this thread. Bryan is a super nice guy so far, and he sounds extremely knowledgable. We spoke at length with possible outcomes of many different scenarios and he had every answer for any question I asked. Price was good too. If I get a quality shortblock then I'll definitely be doing business with him in the future

Made some pretty good progress over the weekend. Got the engine bay pretty well cleared out, harnesses ready to be stripped, front end torn off, A2W's removed, and fuel tank out (ready for an entire fuel system revamp.

Also got a **** ton of parts ordered. Now just need a boost controller and a few other miscellaneous things, then it's assembly time as soon as everything shows up.
