wednesday im going out there. Me and my buddy shaun are gonna go out and see whats up. Taking my coveralls with me just in case i have to assemble the freakin thing myself. LOL. That would be a MAJOR discount for me to do it. He might end up owing me money at my rate. I give you a call and let you know how it goes.

sorry to hear about the motor Tim,I really can't believe I recommended this guy to you,I won't recommend him to anyone else after this bullshit! I mean he's only had your motor since June.

if your talking about a guy near 5 points with his own facilities and dyno, your recommendation for an engine build is fine. he does excellent work and is quite knowlegeable. youll get quality but if you were looking for a quick turnaround your probably SOL.
I would suggest Duffin Machine in SA near the airport for quality and timeliness for guys in the CC area unless your willing to drive a little farther. if so, there seems to be a good builder in this post.

The motor is all machined, and ready to be assembled but he is just cutting it real close for me. I wanted the motor 2 weeks ago so i could get a couple shake down runs on it. I kind of wish I would have kept my olds in the boat now. The builder was actually pretty funny when i told him i would come out and help him assemble it, he looked at me and said that i could hold the tools or something. I have been an airframe powerplant mech for like years. Im pretty sure i can do more than hold the tools. Anyway, the guy said it would be done by friday or saturday and i will be out there to get it one of those days.

all i can tell you is good luck :clover: even Mr GoSlow can be extremely modest when dealing with this guy,, i think he may have taken a Paxill before posting his last post, Bottem line,,,,,That guy is a good machinest but he cant Lie worth a shit, he is slow and you cannot rely on a time frame that he gives you,,, THATS WHAT I THINK :mad:

No mrgoslow I'm talking about a place in Alice,Tx.
If the places initials are C.E.B. on main street ???? GOOD LUCK :messedup:
took my 327 to him years ago and after 3 mos. had to get the Cops on them to find and return all my parts , the crap they wanted to return was not mine :mad: then tried to get me to pay storage :boxingguy
a close friend also took his street rod there to have his 350 rebuilt, 2 wks. later it started knocking , when he took it apart found a broken piston skirt...they swapped his forged TRW Pistons for Cast Badger Brand !!!!

Well We are all wondering if you got you'r MIA motor..?
I know of two top notch builders one is Gary Snow AKA: "Snowman" in Koperl, Tx, I havent been a receipent of his work yet because of his prices and my funds. But the one that rebuilt my motor is Randy Sides http://www.extremeperformanceandmarine.com his # is 817-910-2370
He is for sure a little slower than most because of his demand, however I would simply wait and get it done right and with out a hint or question as to performance and longevety of rebuilds, And he's a beer drinker , so it's all good....

I'll have it runnin today! I am gonna have to pull it out after jetfest though. I need a different oil pan. The one that came with it is a 7qt truck pan and its a little too deep in the rear. Its not touching anything but the drain is in the bottom too. So if anybody has a shorter pan I NEED ONE. See ya at jet fest.

Toyman ,
Where I'm at $ 45,000 for a 454 short Block ain't exactly low budget ( ck out prices on his site ):rolleyes: Ain't bashin' Randy, but thats alot of clams for a std.bore motor
I could run thru 10 shortblocks for that kinda money ... :confused:
hell I'm goin on 6 years on my block now with less than 5K in it , just rolled bearings in for the first time last week !

Oh no When I did his site at the start I didn't know any prices, Still don't
know any
It's still underconstruction and all Thats just what I put down.to test the site.
Randy is just so busy, He can't even get to the phone most days.
Well have it wraped up sometime when he get's alittle slower " Like that will ever happen" "Like being busy is a bad complaint" LOL
