That Factory Five link and pricing is totally out of date. So you are not going to get that pricing or that specific engine anymore.

If you are "convinced" that another engine builder is going to give you the same level of service, quality, name brand recognition, and specific parts (I'm talking down to the billet ignition wire looms and special part numbers for things like distributor from MSD) then you probably are not seeing the whole package so to speak. That is fine, buy that other engine and "save thousands" at first and then put the thousands back in to get the flywheel, Canton pan, air cleaner, etc.

No experience out here in the Northeast with Smedding ... never even seen one.
