My Arrington longblock arrived @ BMC Performance on Wed.

They have some projects they are working on but are trying to get this done next week for me..........

Install the rocker shafts, push rods, underdrive pulley, intake, fluids and I'll be ready to rock


I'll keep you all posted

That's freaking awesome man! Hopefully the third times a charm.

I've got a good feeling about this one, I like how they packaged it up very professional.

Yeah I was talking with Lisa and Kris today saying how much easier and more professional it is then crating something. It takes so much time to crate a motor and then Lisa says, absolutely, if you are putting out that many motors who has time to crate them:D

So far everything from Arrington seems top notch and we'll find out soon about their motors

Dont be jealous at all........ I have gone through 2 shit motors from Frank Racing and now waiting for #3 to go in and still battling a legal battle trying to get my money back from FRI....... FRI owes me almost 5 figures.....:(

I hate that you've had this much trouble, but I can't wait to hear how the Arrington turns out!

Thanks, I have a great feeling...... from what I know, alot of the vendors on all these forums use Arrington for builds........ They grind cams, machine their own blocks and make their own pushrods......

I have a feeling these guys are the real deal

Shit..
If I could.. I would drive you new car to Houston and burn some BAD ASS rubber on there front door,
Good luck Bro

The motor, back on the front end Cradle

The motor in the Car!!!!

She is almost there. I was adviced by BMC I needed to replace the oil pump due to all the metal from the last motor also I needed a new underdrive pulley due to damage from the other motor.......

I guess I can add another $300 to the money FRI ****ed me for:rolleyes:
