Eric built a 522 for me and it ran flawlessly........not one problem. The Canton
oil pan did develop a leak after 1,000 or so miles. I spoke with Eric and he had Canton ship me a new
oil pan and paid my local mechanic to fix it. Very simple.
Although Eric and Performance Engineering is closer to me than you (approx. 3 hours), Eric has done 100's of engine installs and builds a great motor. If I lived in Florida, I wouldn't hesitate about having Eric build me a motor and do the install. I am sure that you have plenty of shops down there that could handle any problems if needed.
He also, throughly inspects the cars after the install, dyno tunes them and puts a few miles on them (weather permitting) just to iron out any bugs that there may be in the chassis.
