thanks LJ851. I have searched online for information and have actually read through that thread but I'm just trying to dig a little further and actually speak to someone that has done business with him. Just a little suspicious of internet endorsements I guess....

I have not had an engine build by William but I have bought parts and spoken with him on the phone many times. Straight up guy. Always delivered as promised.

My experience as well. Would be totally at ease using him for a build.

I have bought a car and some hard to find parts from William. No engine builds. Very pleased with the transactions and would recommend him anytime.

William is a dealer in good standing with my company, and anyone who knows me knows I don't tolerate shoddy workmanship when my brand is on the line. He has generally put those same gearboxes against engines he has built. I've never heard anything but good things from the end users who worked with him.

Regards,

I just found this thread, I did finally get Jon's engine parts and completed his motor. I think he is pleased with the work. William Knight
