Yeah well…I deal directly with Arrington Performance down in Martinsville VA, Nothing against your local guy but they have proven themselves over the past few years and they hold the R&D contract with Dodge as well. Nicks motor needless to say did not come from them.

You don’t need an R&D contract with a company to be capable of doing work. Theres a lot of old school SBC loving asshats EVERYWHERE in the engine builder scene, but I wouldn’t say that MOST or ALL of them are like that… anyone that is willing and capable to work on a modern engine with tight tolerances can do a fine job on ANY motor.

I agree…however I have found people I like to work with and really don’t want to risk someones motor trying " a new place"

My father is friends with Rick the owner. They used to work on a Busch GN together back in the day. It used to be TRICKY RACING in the early 90’s when he started out. He learned from John Keefer who is also a really great engine builder and works for Rick now I think. Rick built all the 302 and 307 engines for my fathers circle track cars back then. He is a meticulous guy and takes great pride in his work! Not cheap but he does it right. My father was getting full seasons out of engines turning them 7200-7400 with the 302 and never had to refresh them when other guys were yanking there motors half way through the season. I think that 302 made 360hp on engine dyno with unported cast iron 289 heads, 10:1 compression, solid lifter flat tappet cam, and 500cfm carb. Impressive with what they had to work with!!
