Edelbrock engines arent much better, I saw the "show" engines amazingly, they dont look much like the one you would receive in the crate....go figure
Another example, Shaifroff, 434 for I think $6000 sounds like a great deal right... Maybe for a street rod, this is not a race engine as you would expect from Scott. Point is that they attract you with a low price and then to deliver they will use the cheapest parts and labor they can find.. Sounds familiar? where have I heard of this before.. oh yeah JASPER!! Stay away from general package deals all together, you will ALWAYS be more satisfied when you have something custom tailored to your needs rather than when you buy "off the rack".
