This thread has had some interesting comments and opinions, so for all the newbie's out there and the enthusiasts who are about ready to pull the trigger, what collective advice does the membership offer on engine and manufacturer considerations? I am not proposing a BB vs. SB advice, but in general depending on the pro's and con's for each manufacturer and their engine build history, pricing, quality, after sale service, warrantees and customer satisfaction. Just a thought since I am not aware of a go to thread for this type of information nor aware of an opinion poll.
