Tim,
I know there are other builders, plenty at that. I was just stating two of the obvious other candidates with GREAT track records, proven ones at that. I'm just stating that Ben has had nothing but a ****storm with this particular individual since he started his dealings with him. At least that's all i've even been privy too. Ben has been dealing with this crap for waaay too long.

Thats the plan, need to buy trailer but that is in the works. Hope to have my Datsun there but with a tight timeline I don't see it happening.

Builder and mechanic MUST have a good relationship. Plus 1000 on recommending the Mad Scientist (Todd K.) He has never done me wrong.
He and Akram built an 800 rwhp car for me that had no issues. Akram and I had a bit of a falling out (not because of his mechanical abilities, it was something else) but Steve Ott also works very very well w/ Todd K.
In any event, hope you get things sorted.

I live one mile away from akram's shop...i will never step foot in there again. Steve is 20 miles away from me and I gladly make the drive.

builder pulled off the head and checked everything. he said everything looked good. he did a leakdown before and found 2-4% on every cylinder from top down center and bottom center
he is replacing the rings on the cylinders to fix the smoking issue
he is also replacing the head gasket, resealing valve covers and some other gaskets
not really sure where to go from here
current plan is to have him ship the motor back to my mechanic
i am getting Todd's dual-intake system installed and fender intakes and will put it on the street and see what happens
