Isn't your name David Beard? Ive seen the short block over there for a while, and it was put together. I feel for your situation. Everytime I go over there I look around to see whats been turned over and what hasn't. I don't know the stories behind a lot of the motors overthere. but I wonder when I see the same motor two or three times. I'm always wondering did the person not pay the balance or what's going on etc... Sorry to hear this.

Erik has had some personal issues over the past couple of years that have taken him away from his business on occasion. Certainly not an excuse for that kind of delay. Sorry for your situation. I sent Erik my last motor two years ago.
Erik's head machinist and assembler left him a while back (deliberately regardless of what Erik tells people) and started working as a CNC machinist for a big oil operation. He saved up and bought the machines needed to machine and build engines and started a little shop that he works on the side. He's as good as they get, honest as they come. He is **** beyond most people's comprehension and he learned it from Erik. I can get you forum members in touch with him if you want to PM me. He's not "cheap", but I would rather pay more for top notch work and not have to deal with the poor communication and wait.
PM me if I can help.

He's not the only one that can build a good motor, but I have used ALOT of shops in Houston, and have a hard time using anyone else. Other wise I'll just put them together myself. GL to everyone!

I would love to know if my short block is finished or if he has just been blowing smoke up my butt

I know of a guy who paid in full for an engine from Erik and has not receieved all of it. It took 18 months or so just to get the short block. Still waiting on the heads and intake. He is getting the same story as the guys in this thread. The bad part is the guy paid the shop I use for the engine and they paid Erik. Now the shop is on the hook because Erik has not supplied the engine that he was supposed too. I know the shop paid in full and did not keep the money.
