If in fact he quoted you 6-8 weeks and you are on week 8, but you did recieve notification from him I wouldn't worry so much. I admit the email sounded strange but if you've been in my shoes lately you'd know stranger things could happen.

I'd simply ask him for another quote and after that deadline comes and goes I'd say you'll have reason to worry.

As for anyone else's business with Rick? I don't know them. I don't know rick therefore I can't comment but I'm sure there must be some circumstance that hasn't been brought to light. If I were that worried I'd PM someone here close to Rick and see if they could find anything out for me. A simple thread stating "Anyone in the PA area please help!" or such and pm the responders

Have you ever taken your car to a shop? Have they ever told you it will be ready in 3 days and it ends up being 2 weeks? My dad used to be very much into rebuilding classic mustangs but he didnt know anything about them. So he had to take them to shops and rely on other people to do it for him. Its a known fact that shops take in more jobs then they can handle, and do tell the customers that itll be done before it really will be. Not saying Rick is like that, but 100% of the shops ive had expierence with are like that.

The FACT is that Rick is a very talented person, SEEMS like an AWESOME person, and is a VERY busy man. You order an engine from him you better pay up and stfu till its done, because when its done, itll be the most badass engine you could get. I dont see what your trying to get out of this thread, I wouldnt expect someone to build me something and it not take a long time.

Since no one has heard from Rick in a while, I hope he is still alright, and gets those engines out quick. Its not an easy job, and people like you make it harder.

I'm not going to insist that you post however.....

I question the wisdom of casting aspersions on the character of someone that is not here to answer those aspersions, while at the same time being asked to take what you say in blind faith.

What's it going to be? A fact thread or one of nothing more than innuendo?

Two reasonable but unconfirmed items have come so far:

Two individuals have waited 8 and 14 months for builds
Rick is hard to get hold of

I'll add to this post.

I was in the bandwagon of waiting on my motor a month after I was told it should be done. I than put the facts into perspective before bad mouthing him.

- I saved over $1,000 by going with Rick
- I got better parts and a better built engine than i would have locally
- He does this on the side. THIS IS NOT HIS JOB!!!! Except some delays regardless of what he says. If you want a motor done on time and want to bad mouth, do it to a business that does this as a living, not someone doing you a favor on the side since he's not making much money building these motors than he should be.
- I got my cam installed & degreed, bung welded in oil pan, timing chain installed and cover sealed all for basically nothing.

There is a reason why the people who have dealt with Rick before praise him in a sense because the kind of quality and service he gives is second to none.

Yes I did have to wait longer than expected. But it was WELL worth it by saving myself all the money that I would have spent on a lower quality motor. You can bet your a$$ that when I get enough money for a Dart block setup, Rick will be my first call (assuming he is still in the business)
