Received my Raby 2270 this week Options

I got my engine back from Jake this week and it looks GREAT. If it runs as good as it looks, I'll be happy. The down side is that I have busted my a** for the last week getting the engine bay in shape before I install the engine. We had to replace an engine shelf and repair a few rust areas in the bay. While we were repairing the engine bay, why not fix the rusted areas on the longitudes. Oh yeh, let's go ahead and install that stiffining kit while we're at it. We really should just go ahead fix that rusted area around the door receiver area, ect....... I just did the grunt work while the pros did their work, welding. I'm so sore, I can hardly sit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I don't have any before pictures (sorry) but here are some pictures of the almost finished project. Really just need to do a little more grinding and cleaning, then paint. I hope that the stiffening kit was worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

He sent me his core...

before he answers the price on the engine- what one customer spends has zero bearing on another customers engine as a golden rule with me. Thats why there are no prices on the site. I make estimates based on what the customer needs. The same size engine can cost 5K more for some applications than others.

As of 2004 all my prices changed as we now include ceramic lifters in all engines and they also receive full cryo enhancement and a Mallory unilite to boot.... They also receive that beautiful powdercoat as a standard. My engines are superior to the "Normal 2270" in every meaning of the word. Our lowest grade engines exceeds their fully optioned engine!

As for the heads- I use brand new castings on all my engines unless someone has 2.0 cores, then they are rebuilt and modified heavily to unlock our power and to do so with a stock idle and temps comparable with stock. sometimes cooler than stock.

Rick was a great customer to work with, I'm glad to receive his positive feedback, can't wait till he gives you a driving report. I know what he will say.
