If you find an alternate source, it is possible
to procure those parts within the US, ship to Craft
and have them deduct cost from final amount due. The Lance Smith (owner) I know is an honorable man and will finish your engine.

avoir un moteur construit par Craft.
Le temps de construction était de 4 mois mais semblait être de 4 ans
Plus de 30 moteurs attendaient des pièces avant la mienne.
Votre temps d'attente semble excessivement long.
Ma suggestion est les appeler pour une liste de blanchisserie de ce qu'ils attendent.
Si vous trouvez une source alternative, il est possible
pour acheter ces pièces aux États-Unis, expédier à Craft
et demandez-leur de déduire le coût du montant final dû. Le Lance Smith (propriétaire) que je connais est un homme honorable et finira votre moteur.
Agree - my experience was similar and I have always had great support and responsiveness from Lance at Craft. My FE took about 90 days. I also did not have to pay it all in advance.

Not sure what the comment about “horsepower is real” above is all about. My FE was built by Craft and the dyno sheet power and tq numbers seem in line with what I have seen elsewhere for engines of similar spec.
