I'm pleased that you received more than you asked for.

Here is one of the motorheads that said in effect, "I can, but I won't!"

I asked you a few questions and then said I won't by not putting in a bid. In fact I think I said, "Buy from one of the crate companies."

I said before, "You can put a turd in a box and stamp "guaranteed" on the box. But all you will have is guaranteed POS. I don't want that to happen to you and I really hope it doesn't happen. It has happened to others.

I've been told I'm too expensive and I tell them, "Buy from one of the crate companies, they are cheaper.

It will be great when your less expensive engine serves you well over the long run.

I'm sure there are a number of factors as to why CME can build motors cheaper than many without having to sacrifice quality and normally that boils down to volume buying, lots of special machinery, many specialists, have been around 30+ years so their overhead is no doubt giving them a lower per unit cost. I believe their bread and butter is stock rebuilds which may afford them lower margins on the performance stuff. From what I read and was told, they use mostly quality name brand parts. Visit their site and read for yourself, no need for me to echo their materials lists.
BTW, no builder except CME was willing to give me a written warrantee. For me that said a lot plus they have a A+ rating from the BBB. I don't think a person can go wrong doing business with them.
