It took two cases yesterday just to dress out Mike's 500 EFI's . The heads were already on.

I better stop coming back to make sure everything is OK when you fall back. AS long as I only see one head above the dash ALL MUST BE WELL.

Re: Best N/A Engines
 
I've got the man right here in town that will build you the motors and work on them if you need anything. Like I told you, one is already built and he's got the parts to build the other one. He's very particular about his work, and he's cheap to.

Wild Child 11-15-2005 02:22 PM

Re: Best N/A Engines
 
you might want to consider Dean Gellner from OH

He has built several sets of 720-750 single carb motors for me.

I run a 37 OL and run it hard, never had a problem

they are strong and idle nice.

350 hrs, going to go through them and bump them up some, want to break 80 would love to see a little higher from it. have a couple other tricks up my sleeve to pick up some speed.

Re: Best N/A Engines
 
Had my motors built by Mesa Balancing. Have not had a chance to do actual in water test yet but can say that he was great to deal with thru the entire purchase/build phase. Laz is probably one of the nicest people in the marine business. His prices were very fair and his attention to detail has been very good.

Next week, I should be ready to splash. Everyone that has seen and heard my new motors has given compliments.

Check out www.mesabalancing.com or call Laz in Miami to arrange to see his work. I would not hesitate to recommend.

If your sincerely looking for a true 750 HP N/A combination that is durable as hell and you can thrash on, you'd do yourself a favor contacting Dean Gellner of Gellner Engineering, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio 216.398.8500. A more precision engineered mill, blueprinted and balanced you can't find. Keep in mind there's an extraordinary difference between an engine builder and engine assembler! Unfortunately, there are more of the latter with big budgets to lure your business. Give Dean a call and educate yourself and I'm confident he'll earn your both your confidence and your business!

and many others to numerous to mention.

I'm certain Dean will earn your trust! Call Dean and spend some time asking him some straight forward questions directly yourself and get a quote for your iron - 216.398.8500. Dean's never too busy to spend time educating his client's; his mobile should you need it is 440.476.3558.

Lastly, I've never met a customer of Dean's who hasn't become friend in the process of dealing with Dean - that happens because Dean delivers on what he promises and his craftsmanship is as durable as you could ever hope to find!
