Default Engine builder

Well the West Coast kit is scheduled to arrive in mid April! Anybody have a favorite engine builder they've worked with in the NorCal area? I live in Merced .... a few hours wouldn't hurt, but closer would of course be nicer! I found by reference Ford Performance Solutions in Anaheim and they have some nice engines...wondering if there's anyone closer to home? Thanks for the kindness you've shown me as I'm only a PROSPECTIVE Cobra driver....egad!!! what have I gotten myself into!!!??

Dirk

PS Where do I sign up for the ride to Ed's house to confiscate his Cobra til he comes to his senses? (JK)

Tom Lucas at FE Specialties, in Sacramento would be my recommendation. I have looked around and he is rebuilding my 428 CJ as we speak. He advertises on Club Cobra. Give him a call.

Smeding Performance in Rancho Cordova (wherever that is!) built a very nice 351W for me. They offer a 2 year warranty even on their 427W

Ditto on Smeding. They're located just outside of Sacremento.
