I made sure to but the dirtiest valve cover on it for the pictures.

Because the internals are totally blueprinted and new bottom end.

I don't know why people say I am expensive...

you get what you pay for.

yes, very true, ur very good for what ya do, i (especially) respect that, it's not that it's expensive, it's just alot of money all at once for the tasks done.....but u DO get what u pay for and from what it sounds like it's worth it. i hope to get an h22 built by ya and prepped for turbo soon.

that's of course when i have the money

Jeff prices are actually really good. I consider them the best in the business. They know what they are doing. I've had and seen a lot of my buddies have bad experiences with different shops...but I can't stress enough how well everything has gone at IB. Jeff sat down and listened to what I wanted and gave his recommendations. Whenever I've gone down to the shop...all the guys are friendly and make you feel right at home. Everytime I've been down there...I end up staying and just chillin with the guys. It's always fun there. That's the way it should be. Oh, and they don't lag. Jeff told me how long it'd take him to find a motor...and he came through. He's kept in touch with me to let me know what's going on with the motor too.

Bottomline: ImportBuilders

You get what you pay for. Try saving money and cutting corners will hurt you in the long run. You made a wise decision having Jeff build your motor.
