He's also not that bad on pricing. He gave me a great price on Wiseco pistons when I build my last stroker. He has a bit of backlog because he is that good.

We distribute only HKE engines. Just got off the phone with Erik today as a matter of fact. We are working through the backlog, dont let it put you off. If you want something contact me, now is the time to order. He is moving his shop out of the Houston area, we are a preffered distributor. Prices are changing, (going up) but we are still very reasonable for what we offer.

As ive said before, no black magic to building an engine... If you have a good machine shop and can use plastigage and a torque wrench, build your own and save a **** load of money.
