I've gone and talked with the people at fox engine services when I was looking for a rebuilt motor... I was told they try to stay away from doing modified performance engines like they used to. Apparently its like a family run business and the guy that mainly did that stuff passed away a while back. (BS or not, its what I was told by them face to face). They also didn't take credit card and cant remember if they took personal checks either. Am I thinking of the same place or you guys talking about? Or, you talking about some other fox place? They had a very clean shop and friendly people there. Very straight forward about their prices and services although I dont have any experience with their work... this is just from me visiting the location to get a feel.
