So franklin, What are you saying? Have you taken this up with keith yet?
Surely there must be an explanation for this.
I agree with you it wouldn't be cool,and would bug me as well.
I'm currently shopping for a builder and its little things like heraing this that scare me!
Really how will I know what i'm really getting. Do you know.
Then again you said your happy!
personally i'd have kept this out of a thread unless you already spoke with him and got the run around.
So whats the word keith?

Default Pictures

I am not quite sure what the problem is with the pictures. You do understand that a lot of these engines do get the same brand crank, rods and pistons, rings, bearings and all. We might send a picture of a crankshaft that looks just like your's but may be for another the engine. Even a lof the heads, oil pans, intake other parts are the same. If we took pictures of every part for the engine we built it would be hard to get all of the engines done. So we send pictures oof a part just like what is going in an engine. I am not sure what the problem with this is. You are getting the parts that you were sold for the engine.
If we take a picture of your completed engine it is a picture of your engine. As always when you deal with us you get the parts and work that you were told you would get. This is the easy part of doing an engine and all of the other stuff is the heard part. Thanks, Keith Craft

I ask Shelly about this since she and Lance take the pictures and send them out. If anyone has a question with the pictures please call and talk with Shelly. I do not know much about them but she said she may have gotten a few mixed up.
Believe me if you put the wrong stuff in an engine it will be found out soon enough and you will not be in business very long. Everyone can rest assured that they got the right parts but maybe the wrong pictures. I do not have the time to do that and answer phone, order parts, work on heads, build engines, go to shows, do ads, dyno engines, work on customers cars, answer e-mails and clean the bath room. Sorry about that and we will try to do better. Thanks, Keith Craft

The man builds quality stuff. He includes a very detailed build sheet. He will call you after midnight his time to answer stupid questions from people who haven't even ordered anything yet (ask me how I know). Enjoy your engine and get over it.
