Default TMS short blocks

Has anyone ever used TMS (Thompson Motor Sports) out of Texas for a LS3 427 shortblock? I see them on ebay.
I am considering putting a 427 shotblock in my 02 Z06.

I am local to TMS... Although I have never purchased or ran one of their motors... There is a local Speed shop who uses them from time to time for built bottom end cars, and long blocks. I have "heard" good and bad things... I have no real experience with them. Texas Speed is another option... Just my .02...

Default ok

Thanks,
I was just noticing that they advertise a low price for a LS3 427 short block on ebay, around $4500.00. Maybe if it seems to good to be true............ But then agsain I have never heard of them before.

I just bought a drop out LS6 from them, have nothing but good things to say about them. My mechanic has bought from them before and if there was a problem, they stood behind there product and fixed the situation at no cost to him. Only reason I didn't get a new one was the fact of the price of the drop out was ridiculously low and couldn't pass it up,only 35k on it ad it was their car it came out of. They have GREAT reviews on LS1 TECH,buy with confidence,good luck. L8R ZFLASH
