We lost a corner stone of the industry. Sincere condolences to Susan.

Sad news indeed. Bill was one of the genuine good guys.
I broke some rocker parts in an engine nearly 5 years after Bill built it for me and he just said "tell me what parts you need and I'll get them sent right over to you" and wouldn't accept any payment for them or even the shipping.
He will be missed.

I will miss him dearly. Mr. Bill, as I called him, was nothing except phenomenal in his ways. He and Miss Susan were so kind and helpful with my project. I will always be grateful. He had the best Southern demeanor! He knew that FE big block like no other. He could walk you through every single passage over the phone, to the last screw. Pretty amazing.

God and Cobra's speed!

Cheers
