I'm pleased that you received more than you asked for.

Here is one of the motorheads that said in effect, "I can, but I won't!"

I asked you a few questions and then said I won't by not putting in a bid. In fact I think I said, "Buy from one of the crate companies."

I said before, "You can put a turd in a box and stamp "guaranteed" on the box. But all you will have is guaranteed POS. I don't want that to happen to you and I really hope it doesn't happen. It has happened to others.

I've been told I'm too expensive and I tell them, "Buy from one of the crate companies, they are cheaper.

It will be great when your less expensive engine serves you well over the long run.

I think that equating price with quality is shallow thinking and to automatically assume that a crate motor is some how inferior to a private build is anserine. In searching for a builder I talked to nearly 15 shops, some a one man operation and others had dozens of employees, some very professional and others were jackasses but I certainly would not make judgment on anyone's product unless I had first hand knowledge.
