I dont buy hardly anything, It takes me a long time to design everything, then get it on my machines to make it. We have the 427 under control, still have to make the intake, and a few other little things. When you start with a clean sheet, it takes alot of designing to make sure that everything works together.
Pretty much everything I work on any more is all custom. The biggest headache I have had lately it the 5.4 ford. Had it on the dyno for a month, and never could get the thing to spark a plug, always waiting for "tuner" to tell me what to do next with the half *** computer that didnt work. That project is shelved till after indy now.
