How long ago did he do your motor? I remember seeing a 347 in his shop about 3-4 years ago, but of course I know yours isnt the only 347 hes done.

He did mine like a year and a half ago . I learned a lot a lot with him the few times I went to his shop, he took me in the back and showed me all his machines and described a lot of the process of engine building , and saw some killer motors he was working on. TEM machine shop FTW!

Rich has a very good reputation with the circle track crowd and the road racing guys. I race with a couple of guys that have motors built by him, they are all very happy.
