The only way that should fly is if the customer knows those details up front.

Not so much in the oerf boating world, but very much so in the Perf Auto world...many of these guys get to build one dream engine for their car/truck. Engine builders aren't just in the job of building engines. They're in the business of making dreams come true.

It's also that their base capabilities are lower.

Machine Shops are not an easy business to sell. The owner/operator is typically the lynch pin. Not just in knowledge but in process.

60 day build on my friend’s brother’s 502 for his truck.

Thanks for all the input everyone. Like someone stated, I do sometimes feel as if we’re getting bumped for the higher paying re-peat customers. Makes it hard to want to become a repeat customer with being a full year overdue and still not even seeing a complete engine.

Smitty, I’ve seen, and read through a lot of your posts throughout the years….your location of frankenmuth always caught my attention, we’ve been going to frankenmuth autofest for the last 20years, and I usually crash there 1-2 times a year when traveling between Detroit and the UP

all the threads started like this dont mention the builder thats Fk'n you around, so others could steer clear......I would of picked up my $hit a yr ago from so called top notch builder......

Time is our most valuable comodity.

I know bubba down the road can build you one in just a few hours.
