Few questions on having and engine built.

I'm not real close to Cincy, but not terribly far either. At least it's a neighboring state.

I prefer that customers allow me to supply the parts, short of a used block, and maybe crank, heads etc. I can buy them cheaper, sell them competitively, and stand behind the parts I choose.

The customer is welcome to bring their own parts with the understanding that it will probably cost them more money in the long run, and I make no guarantee on the compatibility or performance of their selected parts. When they do, they are usually disappointed with the outcome and the cost because I can't work for free, and if they know enough to pick the parts for what they want, they should be knowledgeable enough to build it themselves. Professional builders get paid for what they know, as well as what they do.
