Too bad about Craft Racing Engine.
My Shelby aluminum engine built Gessford engine https://www.gessford.com/almost 20 years ago to my complete satisfaction. George and his crew are very friendly, builds excellent quality and has decades of experience. |

I did some checking too. I don’t think they have formally filed for bankruptcy as nothing recent popped up for the county in Arkansas records but maybe they are working towards it.
We drive by their shop going down to my wife’s hometown nearby. The next time we go I’ll stop and see if any info is posted on their shop doors. |

Lots and lots of businesses went "belly up" in the past few years, so I'm not surprised one of the "go to" crate engine builders did too. The pandemic killed more than a million people in the US too.
I got curious and checked up on my engine builder, FE Specialties. Looks like Tom Lucas is still in business, but moved his operations from Sacramento, CA to Chiloquin, OR, which looks like the middle of nowhere. But he's still in business. And if we're talking about the morality of establishing an LLC for your business, then let's talk about the morality of filing a frivolous lawsuit. :p |

Regarding Brent,,, He's a top notch builder with volumes of accumulated knowledge. Something to keep in mind is that the more time he spends on the phone, the less time he has to spend in the shop. JMHO

Just FYI, Brent did indeed end up doing our engine, and the experience for me was nothing short of fantastic:

Really a sad story ... |
I have two friends that had issues with Lance. One had a deposit on a motor and had to fight to get it. Another sent an engine back for agreed warranty repairs after about 300 miles. Took 50 weeks of multiple promises and phone calls to finally get it back.
I always liked talking to Lance at LCS and thought he would pick up where Keith left off. Not sure if this was actually the case in the last years. Things change, not always sure why. Jim |
My big motor, 410 stroker was a Keith Craft build, says so on the heads and valve covers.....in the car now is a summit crate 351, its a nasty little motor and it will stay in the car.
