I suspect this is coming about as a result of the post done by someone on the Factory Five Roadster forum. Apparently, there wasn't enough satisfaction here in the FE forum before it was shut down, so he took it over there. At first he seemed to just be looking for confirmation of a problem or no problem, without naming names. But now it's all blown up crazy. As near as I can tell his only unresolved issue was loosing his shipping cost to return the parts for a full refund. Who knows - I think they are just greatly irritated and pissed off with each by now?

I placed an order for an engine with Keith about a month ago and got a nice tour of his shop and projects. I went to him for a couple reasons, 1) his reputation, 2) he's down the road about 70 miles, 3) he said he could be competitive on price with anyone, 4) he's an FE specialist, and 5) his reputation. In my limited experience in the Cobra world this is still the only instance of a dissatisfied customer of his I have found. I'll bet that isn't the case with the vast majority of other engine shops. How many folks are advertising the name of their engine builder as part of their car specs in their posts other than those who have Keith Craft motors???? I think that says a lot.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the visit and tour of his shop (which he conducted) and couldn't imagine having a problem with him that couldn't be easily and amicably resolved. Since then I bombarded them (and the forum) with a daily stream of email on the subject of what dual quad intake is going to fit under the hood of my "scoopless" hood street roadster? They took it all in stride without complaint. Now I hope I don't need to move up the assembly date on my motor.
