Congrats Mario...happy for ya!

DOOM now in BEASTMODE.

:underchair:

I received an "agreement" when I built my engine that was on their document. A contract constructed by an attorney is a whole different deal.

You have their car and I'm sure they sign some paperwork. You do business with integrity. I think it's important to remember that we aren't the only good guys on the planet. There are plenty left with integrity.

My thought was to buy the part from the builder up front and make sure they were delivered. In reflection, I'd rather pay for the parts and labor in increments. I agree, I wouldn't expect a builder to back an engine where I brought in parts and forced them on him.

I agree Mario, when you forget what got you there, that spells trouble.

Wow Mario, that is going to be some sick power..... Update your thread with the specs...

:eek:

That just made me feel so much better about the money I have dumped into my car. Thank you for that!

I'm holding yah to that one! Dinner is on me!:happy23:

Or he's a great engine builder and says to himself 'Well, this is a little different. But if the terms are reasonable this can still be a win-win situation'. :)

100% agree with Charley on this one.... Anyone that is busy -- doesn't need your business.

It's not enough money to bother with a contract in the first place. I know it sounds like a lot - but if you want to litigate - that's a lawyers fee for just reading the contract and writing a letter....

Do the right thing -- find a REPUTABLE guy that understands your concerns -- and is willing to address them in a reasonable way. It might not be 100% of what you want - but building this stuff NEVER is on time -- and things always have a way of changing. So you've got to be somewhat flexible.

I agree, I would take it offensive if I was approached with a contract, that you don't trust me first, I also feel your unsure to have to have a contract think it's just a bad deal and you should find someone your comfortable with. Like a prenup, I don't think she will hose me but just in case.

Give Mike Moran a call.

Again Todd well said!!!!
Glad I can help!!!!:lol:
Greg as I stated before I'm fully aware not everything goes according to plan things do happen. These guys are depending on other people to make things happen I live it every day. My deal with AP was a joke ! They had $4000.00 dollars down payment of my money and knew full well they wouldn't have to give it back. There very well versed in the CC laws. I believe if my money was in some type of account waiting for them to collect when I received my trans I would of went through a lot less BS lies. I'll bet you they would of told me about the shut down to build transmissions for the OE'S had they not had my $4000.00 dollars! I think at the end of the day if the money is sitting waiting you'll get a lot more honesty! If I have a car waiting for a part that's holding me up from collecting XXX amount of dollars I'm calling all over the planet to find it so I can get paid! If I had that money up front I wouldn't sweat it as much my bills are paid.

Someone posted earlier about your contract possibly being an indicator of you being a "difficult" or "unreasonable" customer. Let me assure you: At 40 Large for a motor, you have purchased the right to be difficult and demanding. if that scares off an engine builder, consider it a gift.
