Darren Krewenchuk did some machine work on my latest case for me, and was recommended to me by the guys here. He also does engine builds. Was a pleasure to work with, and certainly knows his stuff.

I regret it was not my intend to question you.

The problem is that and engine would cost between 500 and 5K and some people may be more incline to offer you an engine if they have an idea what you are willing to pay.

You could also contact one of the ussual builders and get as many parts as possible from the classifieds (this could be around 2-3Ks.)

Good luck.

If I was you, I would talk to K-roc or GMB. Both great engine builders and very honest and fair guys to deal with.
