Default Thanks APE, looking good

I had to give a public thank you to Chris and the Guyz at APE who have been wonderful to deal with... anyone who wants superior quality service, work and pricing should call these guys 1st. BTW, the crate itself is strong enough to balance a small car on. Hope the wife lets me use it as a coffee table to go along with her "county" motif.

Damn thats awesome man, I have to admit Chris and Brian are both pretty cool to deal with. I can only hope that my block looks as purty as yours. Good luck on the new setup Jammer.

Jason, I'm glad you are pleased. Chris and I were talking about how sick your combo is as we were putting the shortblock together. So get to it times a wastin

Mike, your motor will be just as HOT especially since we are doing the longblock. Dyno numbers to follow.

Thanks for the kind words guy, Chris and I do our best to make sure that every engine we build gets our 100% attention and maximum effort. Afterall if the customer isn't happy, what the hell are we good for!!!

Awesome slogan and I like that my motor will be "HOT"

So who there actually builds all the motors ? Is it Chris and Nick or do the other guys build the bottom ends as well?

Mike, myself and Nick do all of the engine assembly. No one else! It is easy this way to keep the quality up.

Levi, we have to ship in good quality crates, I do not want to risk a engine getting damaged along it's travels.

Beast, you were a great customer to have also, don't think that we forget about you! Your oil pump and dowels will be leaving on Monday. Also I will be doing a little research into the grinds for your cam.

Mike, hopefully by this time next week we have some engine dyno numbers I forgot to call you on Friday, I will get the call to you on Monday, sorry.

Thanks guy's for all of the support!

Nice. And to AP-Engineering's credit, they have chimed in on many threads, giving technical advice. The board benefits from having them as a sponser. I will definately give them a call when I need a new shortblock.

I agree with Hardtop, it's rare to see many tuners pipe in with such valuable information to the do-it yourself customer.

Props to APE
