My name is Dan Engler and my user name here on 460 Ford is DanE. I am leaving for the tech seminar Friday morning so as to be in Ky for the friday night get together and the seminar on sat. I will be comming back sunday morning. About a 9 hour drive. I live in Burton, Mi; close to Belsay and I69. I have a room reserved for Friday and Sat night, 2 dbl beds. If you are interested in going, call me at 810 744 3991. Split expenses.
I'll check into CMM services first. Give you their quote, in writing. Then I can figure out how much I have to do and spend. I'm not looking at this like a cash cow, but I have to be interested. Getting my 460 machined (the basics) is what I was thinking for my services.
I am Realistic so U tell me how much? I will do some more checking as well. I didnt think about this when I started talking to people. I wouldn't know what A FAIR PRICE IS?
I kinda think its sad. Somebody or company thinking about doing ford aftermarket billet blocks and you get negativity??? Geez! Just for your knowledge I have been in and worked for machine shops for awhile. I was also part of a company that was banned from nascar nhra and ihra for making billet ceramic composite internal engine components. I am not new to this just I am not a machinist.
I'm sensing some hostility for sure. Weird. Myself, it usually ticks me off when I ask a tech question, and I get an opinion. If I wanted to ask whether or not I should do something, I would have asked, whether or not I should do something!
