Recommended engine builders for Banks TT
 

To All:

I am wanting to speak with several high quality engine builders to discuss my project.

What engine builders would you recommend to build a sbc, to work with the Banks TT package?

Thanks,

tyoneal

Where are you located? Does it matter if they're not close by to you?

I am located in North Texas, D/FW. Specifically about 20 miles North of Dallas.

The closer the better, but at this point finding the right person is very important. (I'm not sure how much choice I would have in the Dallas area)

Thanks,

tyoneal

You should not have any problem with finding a builder in DFW or if you want to make the shirt drive you can always come down here to Houston. If you are using the Banks kits that gives you more builders that you can choose from.

A good texas builder is Horsepower Engineering in Houston

HPE does rock. Good choice for your neck of the woods.

there is no one better in north tx . hans feustel racing engines .

Who is Horsepower Engineering? I have used West Side, and USA Racing

To All:

Thanks for the engine references.

Are there anymore in addition to:

1) Horsepower Engineering (Houston)
2) Hans Feustel racing engines (Ft Worth)

Thanks,

Well....... the only other LSx type shops in Texas are:

MTI, Motorsport Technologies in Houston which I would also personally recommend.

Texas Speed and Performance in Wolfforth. Dont know 'eh... but have heard very good things about their work.

Is this going to be a LSX motor?

USA Racing Engines in Houston is who I will be building my motor. They have built a few motors for us and all have performed very well.

I am certainly investigating the LSx engines, but at this point I am looking for both.

Thanks,

tyoneal

Keith Craft in Plano does lsx and many other types of motors.

FYI: The Banks manifolds will not work on the LSx engines. :thumbsup:

You are correct.

When I first wrote the thread, I had not become an admirer of the LSx platform. There have been made so many good post about them that I think my mind has changed.......... for the better.

Thanks,

tyoneal

:thumbsup: I am liking them more and more everyday myself. Now if I can just convince the "powers that be" to make manifolds for them. :unibrow:

Jason:

I sincerely hope you are successful. I've ALWAYS had a good experiance with your products.

Perhaps when my car is ready sometime next year, I can be one of your first customers for your "New" product addition.

Keep me posted.

Best Regards,

Ty O'Neal

BTW: Went to speed week a few weeks ago, and I sure saw a lot of, "Banks", stickers out there.

How did you all come out? (I should already know this, but since it was part of a longer road trip, I've been deliquent in my follow up)

I will surely let everyone at lateral-g know once the LSx manifolds are available.

I haven't inquired about any Bonneville outcomes. As far as I know the only car we took was the Stude because they were dynoing the endine a few weeks back.
