Best Engines for the dollar, 2 year warranty

[otomix]

mercman, unwise - no need to use the power..and I dont waste money - pay extra for a name like Shelby or Roush engines that are really built by others..... I appeciate, reach for great instead of good, understand, like superior engine chemistry, just listeneing to the engine power and knowing the power is there is the "o well to each his own". No bragging, - just conveying knowledge.and Value. Facts - homework on Shelby related business ethics, BS, leaning on folks, Reselling products at higher prices because the Shelby name is on a part, Fiberglass or alumimum body ? He was hero in the 60s, and I respect the mans accoplishments as a racer, marketing wizard back in the day, but now others trying to leverage name.

I will put my Roush up against anybodys motor, and from the cost quoted in the first post for a KC motor of similar parts and hp / tq #'s, I would say they are pretty close in price.

I don't understand why people have to throw down Roush all the time when the discussion of engines come up. I am sure KC builds a great motor, but so does Roush.

As far as being built by "someone else", they are handbuilt and dynoed at Roush and come with a 2 year 24k warranty. I can call them right now and discuss my motor and they know exactly what is in it, and who built it by the serial number on it. I have discussed carb options, fuel options etc... and they have been good to me. My.02

I ordered a complete driveline from Lance @ K.C. this week.

They're going to build the whole setup from engine to trans: 482 Shelby w/Mass-flo, Mcloed - Lakewood coupling to TKO 600.

The price (a lot) was less than what I could have pieced all this together for. I have no doubt it was a wise decision.

Roush is a great choice as well, I've yet to hear anything but praise for them.
