Re: T&L ENGINES IN N.C.
Follow Up,
I think it would only be fair to post a follow up, as I blasted T&L earlier.
I finally got my engine from them. It was 8 weeks late, but finally did arrive. It looks good, and arrived in good condition. Time will tell if it is good. From the build specs, it should be a good engine. T&L has a good reputation as an engine builder. Just takes a long time to get one.
Lloyd is backed up over 100 engines. So, it will take at least 4 months to get an engine, or longer. The key point here is, you will get your engine, just depends on how high your "pain" threshold is. Is it worth the wait? I have no idea. If I had it to do over again, I would pay a little more, and get it locally.
It used to be, in the racing circuit around Charlotte, if you wanted to win, you had to run a T&L engine. Not so anymore. Technology has caught up, and the use of CNC machining centers has equalized the playing field. So exact tolerances are common place now.
Llolyd is a nice guy, just way behind. Probably will be for the next 8 years.
