I wouldn't pay these guys $2.75 for anything, much less $2750.... (i know i'm gonna regret saying this, since i am still under the same crammy impression of them)..just based on the qualty of their work. The long block taht i bought from them, specifically the heads, were leaking..the valves weren't nearly properly sealed. That's why i had to redo it last time i built the motor.

Secondly, you can get heads done by Cosworth for a similar price i would think, since they are charging $4000 for heads with a full ferrea valve train (including overside valves, springs, shims, retainers, etc..... and the substantial headwork that goes into putting in the larger valves). I'd give them a call first....

Anyway, my $0.02.

I am in the process of announcing our engine building program, that will be superior to anything currently on the market, both in terms of price AND more imporantly...quality. We are also Cosworth master distributors. If you want a sneak preview, give me a call. I should have everything loaded on the website within 2 days.

Sharif, since you're going global you might start looking into getting an engine dyno.

That WOULD be a nice selling point.. Maybe even able to advertise fully broken-in motors. At least you'll have a sound mind knowing it was professionally done.. Knowing me, I'd have a difficult time conservatively driving 500-1000 miles with ooo-gobs of power at my disposal..
