I wanted to thank the members for their support over the years and let anyone know that is in the market for an engine that we are still here and working hard. It does not seem sometimes that I have the time I did in the past to get on the forum and help much. With 15 and 10 year old boys and a daughter that is 22 and a new grand baby here I have tried to spend a little more time with them. This does not mean that we still do not work 40 to 50 hours a week but that we sometimes do not have as much time for some of the forum stuff.
I am still very much involved in any engine builds but have Lance and Tony in the office and both can help with anything you need. I am available just may take a day or two for me to get back with you. Like every other company we have had to make some changes in the last 4 years to stay in business and still do quality work. I now spend more time in the shop working on your engines. I do most of the head work and also do head work for a lot of other engine builders. Many people are running our heads and do not even know it.
We use CNC head and block machines to get the best quality we can as well as a Sunnen diamond hone that was 55,000.00 alone. This is just for honing the cylinders on the blocks but this new machine gets them rounder and straighter than anything out there. You have to hone a lot of blocks to pay for that thing. I am lucky in that we have the same core of people we have had for 10 to 20 years.
Please bare with us like I said if I can not get to the phone because I am normally elbow deep working on a block or set of heads. Be assured that when you deal with us that each engine is built for you with what you wanted. We are not perfect and from time to time we will have a vendor issue are part problem but we do get it figured out.
Come by the shop if you can or check out the website. As many of you know my wife answers the phone and works her butt of as well to make sure you have a pleasant experience. Not may of these Mom and Pop stores left anymore. Oh and on occasion we have been known to go racing.

Thanks, Keith Craft
