We have heard nothing but horror stories about the Rousch 511 motor. Delays, failures, poor service, no service....I think I would pick $hi! with the chickens before I would buy a Rousch motor at this point. There are too many other builders out there.

Hi Danr55, yep you are probably right, but unfortunately I am already 25 large in the tank with the deposit and really don't want to walk away from that type of gelt. So it seems like I must suck it up and hope all works out. That said, gathering the serial numbers makes a formidable defense if push comes to shove. I sure hope that does not happen but my gut tells me to prepare well.
Look forward to meeting all you guys in May, but at that time if you happen to see me pushing my ride, then you know there is gonna be a whole lot of splainin that needs to be done by the Roush people. tin-man
