They haven't gone anywhere. They are building my 396. Go there weekly.

i have realized that now, but i would still like to find a engine shop around here.

Talked to Cory today all is good as I mentioned in your other thread. I talked to AES and Clayton today and Clayton was about half the price.

i am still trying to find a more local shop, i know there are a lot of people in the OK, TX area please help me find one.

thats the same for me, thus the reason i am looking in to other shops. as of know im thinking either Speed INC. or Nelson racing engines.

there is a shop in MWC called APS automotive ... but Nelson racing engines i have seen how they perform on youtube and i would some day like to have a motor like theirs

Clayton racing email should be claytonracing@gmail.com if you are using a different one then it isn't getting to them. Their website isn't updated yet. They have been way to busy working 14 hr days 6 days a week and the website isn't as high of a priority as getting out engines that have been backlog due to manuf not having parts in stock.

not to bash Clayton at all since i have never done business with them and i have talked to cory on the phone a few times and he seams like a real knowledgeable person, but i have been hearing a LOT of unsatisfied customers coming from them. and i can understand that they are busy as its race season, but if you do not update contact information then how will potential customers be able to trust them if they wont even update and respond to emails? but what i have been hearing about 4+ month builds resulting in shady work and poor customer relations? but as i said this is just what i have come across via the internet. as we all know reviews on the net can be a powerful tool, and i have only heard the side of other customers and not cory. though i have also seen the top notch quality work they have done (being JPack's engine mainly). i dont intend to start my build till this winter so who knows what will change. i will say that Clayton has always been on the top of my list to build my engine
