Default Short/Long-block Sale @ TEXAS SPEED!!!

It's getting that point in the year where it is time to start looking for changes in the off season! A new short-block or long-block is always a good place to start. All short-blocks are on sale from now till the end of the year! Everything from base 347c.i. LS1 short-blocks to 454 LS-X Short-blocks are all priced to on sale! We have a variety of combinations in each cubic inch in stock and ready to ship immediately. For those customers who purchase ANY IN STOCK motor, we will throw in a free cradle as well to try and help off-set todays rising shipping costs. Here's a couple base prices to give some ideas on what you would be looking at:

347c.i. LS1 Short-block: $2899

402c.i. Aluminum LS2 Short-block: $3995

408c.i. Iron 6.0L Short-block:$3475

418c.i. Aluminum LS3 Short-block: $4095

427c.i. Aluminum LS7 Short-block: $5695

454c.i. Iron LS-X Short-block: $5895

You can also check out our site to mix and match your preferred components you wish you use in your engine build. Feel free to give us a call, email, or PM any TSP employee with any questions or concerns you have and we will make sure we get you taken care of as quickly as possible!

Thanks!

Sorry guys, haven't had a chance to get back in here. The 347c.i. short-blocks are as cheap as we can get them. About the only way I can save you guys any money off of them is to throw in a cradle with the in-stock motors. Sorry, that's all I can get out of them.

Anyone needing prices shipped to your door, feel free to shoot me a PM with zip codes and I will be happy to figure a total to your door.

Thanks!
Jon

Thanks again!

I'd like to know also, before I order. Are they built in house? I was told that I could have the build sheet with the motor, which is good. But who is the builder?

I'd like to know this as well. What type of machine work is done before/during assembly of the shortblocks?
