Hey Jack, been a while, your boat has always been one of the best running 353's I've ever driven or sold. Alot of good recomendations on here. Is the boat still in the same place down here?

I've known Bill for years. He builds all of my engines and gives a 2 year warranty. Talk to him before you decide.

If you choose Ateco, make sure to get a finished time in writing !!!! Bill is fair and knowledgeable, but is not always timely.

Send it to Rudy @ Dryden Performance Marine 302-367-4962 he's been doing these for the last 33 years and is old as Dirt

Sounds like the norm coming out of AT@CO BIG Daddy ,there the only engine shop i ever heard of that did'nt know what to charge for a short block when it was done and when i asked for the bill they had to get the employees time card who assembled it and add up all his hours and phone calls to Dart & Larrys to get ring gaps sizes, piston wall clearances,coated wrist pin questions answered,plateau hone procedures,,to do the assembly . i would think if your building a fresh motor and done it before would'nt need to spend hours and hours on the phone calling around on a customers nickel at $95.00 an hour ...
And why the H@LL would you call Isky to custom grind a new cam when Comp has them on the shelf ready to ship ??? WTF


Like Diesel said RUN AS FAST AS YA CAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:kiss :

I have heard the same thing. He has done a few pairs of engines for people I know and they have not had any issues that I know of.
I'm not sure if Perf Boat Brokerage builds there own engines or does the assembly and specs them out. I have only heard excellent reviews about them as well. There customer service is second none.

Lightning Performance built up my 502s several years ago. Gene knows his stuff and is connected with a great machinist in KC. He, also warranties his work.
