Mr. Dwight,
I looked through al our emails and I did not see one from you today.

At the moment I am putting in 20 hour days trying to get ready for Feb 1st as well as the normal workload, so please excuse my lack of promptness.

I am working to make having a "Raby Engine" in yourcar much easier and les expensive. This is going to be accomplished in a few different ways.

as far as my engines being a "pretty penny" I will tell you that the average amount of man hours in one of my engines is 80! when you consider that the labor guides only allow a 20 hour charge to R&R and rebuild of a stock engine- I'm only making pennies an hour at my rates.

My engines are what they are because of the development and research exerted into their refinement. I do an average of 30 engines a year, Vs. hundreds done by shops that specialize in good prices. The difference is that my engine doesn't leak oil, doesn't break, idles like it stock, drive's like a gentlemen or hauls ass like a terror and all that is the result of pure old effort.

The prices of my engines have went up, the time alloted to each engine has went up, but with my new plan you can have the engine you want whether I build it, or you build it- and its never been easier before.

Look at the pages of myR&D on my website. Most other builders have never heard of those developments, yet alone utilized them- They don't care to, its only a job to them!

As for prices.. This isn't Wal- Mart, its not Bill's Minute lube and it sure as hell isn't a production line......

The day when I can read your mind through the computer, put my butt in the seat of your car and do it all through the internet i can give you an accurate price. I try my hardest NOT to build the same engine twice.... Call West Coast Choopers and ask for a price on a custom bike and you won't get an answer either. Custom work isn't cheap and its not for everyone but many appreciate my method of doing business because once I do give you a price, its in writing, its signed and it don't change a penny.

3 weeks ago I sold a 2270 TIV for 6500 bucks.. Last night I sold a 2270 for 15K bucks...... Everything is dependant upon everything else your imagination and desires are the only limits in a shop like mine, ran by an absolute insane person like myself.......

I can say the cheapest engine I build is 6500.00, balanced, blueprinted, dyno tuned, 100% complete with a signature.
