Anyone know anything about mhpengines? The engine I'm looking at was built by them. He said its built off of their stage 3 block with optional I beams,cobra crank and oil pickup tube added on.

LoL, I sold it Oct 2010. Well many reason that just made a lot of since at the time.
It was a weekend toy, had a 07 Ranger as a DD. In 2 years I only put 6-7K miles on it. So instead of just letting it sit I put it up for sale. Took almost a year to sell. What made me do it is that since it was paid for anything I got from it would be all mine. Ended up selling it, paid the ranger off, wife's car off, honeymoon and put 4-5K in the bank.
Do I regret selling it? Not really. Do i wish I still had it, yes. My favorite mod on the truck was the stereo system. One off, one of a kind that has been copied but never duplicated. And knowin if I ever build another I couldn't do the same setup as the shop is now closed. I drove the truck to Houston to the shop, flew home(New Orleans) and a friend in Houston was coming in town 1.5-2 weeks later drove it back for me.
A retired military surgeon assistant bought it in Jacksonville, FL he owned it for 2-3years and a few months back sold it to somebody else in Jax.

Had an old 75 Ford 4X4 farm truck w/390. - Miss that one the most. Drink beer, chase the stud colts and philly's around with a refrigerator/passenger in tow.
You ever take your truck to the dunes ?

Either is good.
H/E's don't do much for drag racing. There not enough time for it to actually cool.
I had a single pass AFCO H/E with dual 8"(IIRC) EFans wire to be on all the time.
Honestly the best thing would be spend the money on a J&S Vampire Timing Retard System. It monitors detonation and can retard timing automatically. I'll be installing one on a full bolt on Whippled @ 15# stock block HD in a few weeks
I'll be sure I take pics.
JJ@WMS tunes it. With one revision it was spot on! Very very impressed with JJs tuning ability! Had a Rick@Amazon tune before the Whipple and the owner never thought it was what it should have been that's why he switched and is happy he did.
That is a 03 with 24K miles. I have done every single mod to it. It is very nice to have the chance to build such a nice truck without the owner saying well I don't have money for the good stuff, let's do this instead. Makes my job a lot easier when he gets the best from jump street!

Edit. Right now, this is the ultimate budget LSwap. I'll put up the piles of parts of cost. I'm pretty well in to green
