First of all, "a motor is just that.. a motor", anything can go wrong no matter how much you spend or who builds the darn thing. Now with that silly qoute here is my experience.

Number one, SA has one of the best selections of Ford motors and a very competitive pricing system.
I think it's the frequency of mishaps that is being discussed. Wide selection and good pricing doesn't make a good engine.

Well, I'll give you the tuning part but minor fluid leaks should be discovered and fixed during run-in. Aren't the SA motors hot tested?
