As of Friday, I signed on with Eric to build me a 427W to replace the 408 I have in my SPF. This one will have ALL the right stuff, and built by someone who does it correctly.
I spent a lotta time this go-round researching and questioning engine builders, and although there are several top-notch shops to choose from, Performance Engineering is right up there. Not cheap, but baby, in this regard you definitely get what you pay for, and pay for what you get - period. There is no such thing as a "bargain" high performance motor, IMHO.
Plus, Eric has the patience and the courtesy to spend time with his potential customers, working out the details, and landing squarely on the target. I have every reason to believe this new motor will be everything it's supposed to be, and the customer support won't stop the day it gets shipped.
Damn, I'm looking forward to this for a change!
