How much of a market for smaller budget rebuild engines?

Thin enough that you can't comfortably afford to buy a CSX/Kirkham/ERA of your own from the profits.

There he goes again. Slamming the Unique's, SPF's, BDR's and FFR's.

Sophisticated and beautiful websites are the "cat's meow" and all, but personally, word of mouth and personal recommendations work as good or better for me.

There's several guys that I know in the SF Bay Area, who by word of mouth, do a very nice business building various types of engines.

But are they building engines for non-Bay area folks?

Yes, but word of mouth can extend to bigger businesses too. KC and BL have good reputations as well as Tom Lucas, Gessford and Barry R.

I suppose if one was in the SF Bay area and needed an engine built, the Mitchell brothers, over at the O'Farrell Garage, could handle that job nicely.
