Sounds to me like his motor still isn't together and it will not be together anytime soon. Serpentine or not hes still 2months out to get his motor and is going on 2 years. Unbelievable.

Somehow missed the 2 year part, yea that would NOT fly with me, my guy gets things done anywhere from a week to a month, normally depending on my cash flow, I dont have him assemble so that helps, but I dont care what, if the funds are there and it takes too much time..... find a new builder.... I read this soooo much, If I missed a boating season waiting on engines I would be up someones Azz!!

The guy on brookpark road is notorious for stroking folks off for years on end. Excuses and lies.
Good friend just pulled his stuff from there and he's been doing business with them for 30+ years. Just could put up with it anymore. It was over a year and no action, just promises.

You definitely made the right choice with victory Tim!

Yea, I know the issues there, hence using Victory for 20 years...... I made engine guy thread to see what other not known names can be brought up as good builders....

Ateco's response is BS. It doesn't take two years to fabricate a serpentine system.
