Thats ok, most of the engines they build up have been around since the 60's/70's. So it's not as if they're building something that hasn't been built before.

They did do a Honda Civic build up once but I don't think they did much past a few bolt on's.

I'd still like to see something different besides the same old Chevy and Ford engines they build.

I think I will email them and ask about doing a turbo V6 build up.

Of course trying to run a number is fine if that is what you want to do but beware if you walk on the edge sometimes you fall off.
