Message	Anyone that reads this should keep this fresh in their head. If at all possible, MAKE SURE TO GET THE MOTOR PULLED, REBUILT AND INSTALLED AT THE SAME "REPUTABLE" PLACE. I can not tell you how many times I have heard the blame game between two shops where the rebuilder says,"it must have been the shop who installed it." And the installer says "the motor was not in good shape when we got it, you have to go through your warranty with them." It really sucks when this happens and you are basically s.o.l. Hopefully your supplier "cough" will take care of this. You paid way to much for a install it seems too. It should be perfect for these prices you paid. Good luck in your situation. ****472 RWHP/461 TORQUE ON 110 RACE GAS @21 PSI ****438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****429 FT LBS/TQ*******************************
