At least it dosent have a cast crank or off shore rods of questionable composition
Go to any of the BIG NAME BUILDERS and get the same parts
and compare the final bill
I think you will see about a 5 to 8K savings
but hey thats just my opinion the only reason its for sale is to build my other 3 Side Oilers
No disrespect Joe, but I don't think you can compare yourself with 40 posts to Keith Craft, Gessford or FE Specialties, three of this website's sponsors.

A brand new all aluminum sideoiler with a dyno-proven 600 +/- HP at $17K with company backing in the form of a warranty is just not the same as your offering. There are dozens of 482's out there with many miles, which have those "questionable" parts and have held up just fine.

Best of luck with your builds.
