I am comparing prices on motors. I got a quote for a local shop to build me a motor, good quality and not a bad price (short block) 331. A friend suggested to save some dough and to also get a complete engine that i should go to a place that can ship them out. Money and Type of engine aside what do you guys think about these mail order engines.
Jegs and summit offer a 345 Horse 302. MMFF has some ads; D.S.S has short and long bock using AFR heads. Central Coast Mustang has some sweet looking setups as well.
Opinions on these companies? Benefits to having a local shop? Benefits to these mail orders??

Im at this stage as well in building a motor. I was seriously thinking DSS and Ford Perfomance Solutions. But reading some post on this board, I will be giving my money to probably TURBO302 and having him build the motor. There are many local guys that can build something for you. Having a local guy is a benefit as well as keeping the local hotrodder in business. Going with a mail order motor (which most are built on an assembly line) you never know how its going to turn out. If there is a warranty issue, YOU pay to ship back to them and then YOU pay to ship back to you-right there is enough to get a local guy to do it. Good luck

B & M machine in Chico, A short block 331 was going to be about 2000 for all the parts and around 600 for labor. I'm suppling the old block but having to buy a new fly wheel and balancer.
Im getting a parts breakdown to day on exactly what going into it. I can let you know. But all things considered with tax and shit it should be between 2500 and 3000.

From my experience I would recommend Keith Craft if you can afford it... If not I would recommend D.S.S. with AFR heads...
PM me for details on why I would recommend this.
