Dunno about the engine, but chassis build is 60 days plus shipping. I suspect Roush can have the engine waiting for you.....

That's pretty fast. We ordered a Jeep from the factory and it took almost that long to get it.

Now days, that's like "off the shelf" timing! Pretty amazing. I would have thought much longer for the chassis. Engine? I'm sure they are a stock item.

Makes it all the easier to return it when it breaks.

I guess what I'm waiting for is someone to stand up and cover your engine removal and replacement costs. Again, only if they are found at fault! That is not only time consuming but expensive as well.

I have one of the Roush motors. Initially it liked oil. After a bit Dennis Olthoff pulled the motor for Roush, shipped it to them, they replaced the heads among other things (they are a bit tight lipped) and returned it to Dennis. He reinstalled it. I went to NC to collect it. No charge--for anything. Zero. Better to not have a problem but Roush proved to be professional. Today (50k miles in) I would seek out Brent Lykins because I prefer a local builder. Brent has class. So does Roush. And while I am at it, so does Olthoff Racing.
