All engine kits purchased online either via a deposit or paid in full, will be meticulously reviewed by one of our engine techs. We will will send you a formal, itemized build sheet before starting the machining process. We want to ensure the engine kit will meet your application and any necessary changes, upgrades, or final details can be made at this time.
We start with the exact same blocks you would build on your own. It's what we do to take these old dirty blocks that you see here to a beautiful custom built Butler engine. It takes many critical steps in order to become the proper foundation to be a custom Butler Performance engine.
