OK, here is mine;
Read the threads both here and others and also talked to owners, in person, about the T&L engines. Almost to a person they said the engines were good but the wait was longer than normal or promised.
With that mind I ordered the 347 with webers. Taking into account the stories I ordered the motor giving T&L 16 weeks, double the build time promised. Even with that I could go longer.

Many calls, most unreturned unless they happen to answer the phone, I finally got my motor, 8 months from the order date. The main reason my car is not done yet.

To expidite I contacted an attorney and got a qoute of what it would cost to handle the problem. I forwarded the qoute to them and said this was my next step. Seemed to get action.

That being said the engine finnally arrived, crated great, and looked good. 2 weeks ago I started it. After turning the crank and the primming the pump it started and sounded great.

The moral of the story if you have the time to screw with them the price is great. Plan ahead by at 8 months, lots of calls. Be aware the southern policy does not alllow them to get angry, so they just promise.

No drive time yet. If you want to Pm about further info I'll will respond.
