Well a lot of guys know what they want, but don't have the experience or tools to do it....otherwise I wouldn't be staying in business.

I'm trying to see where the majority of the builds fall....if the guys want the $$$ bling or if they want a good solid dependable engine that they can beat on when they want to.

Sure, you can build a 351W for less than $5000, but I like providing all new parts...no reused rods with press fit pins, no stock reground cranks, heads that actually flow some air, roller cams, etc.

As a business, you go where the market lies....maybe the market isn't in $12k 427ci Dart based Windsors.....
