Smile Keith Craft 331 Quicker than original Cobra!

Keith,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the 331 you just built me! (stroked 302).

I just drove it and I actually feel like your 331 is FASTER than an orignal 427 Cobra. I could not believe it. What secret parts are you hiding inside that engine!?!?!

Cheap power, nice sound, great running, no problems. I can not tell you how many of our customers have had problem over the years with their engine builders. My experience with you has been a relief. The engine fired up on the first revoloution of the crank. I have never had an engine fire so easily and run so smoothly.

Unfortunately, I was not able to use the engine as planned in my own car as a customer blew his 302 up a few weeks ago. He sent the car to us for repair. He will NOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE IN HIS CAR! Heck, I could not believe the difference.

Thanks! Oh yes, Keith Craft delivered the engine in 3 weeks--1 week earlier than promised!

David

ps. please make me another 331. I have an employee who just changed his mind and no longer wants a 427. I can't say that I blame him!
