Never heard of him, but that certainly doesn't mean that he doesn't build quality engines. I still use a local machinist and do my own assembly. Keith is slow too, takes time to do the quality work and he has a large customer base and does a lot of the performance stuff. If you want a motor quick, why not just a crate motor?? The Ford Racing catalog has a very good selection of done engines.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Yeah I've done buisnes w/ Jim shafer he and his shop is absolutley the worst engine builders around DO NOT BUY FROM THIS CLOWN!!!! I made the mistake of buying a SBC from him last Feb. 2004. and I'm still trying to figure it out. what an idiot....They took 3 months suppose to be 1 month to build my engine. When I finally got it it was missing oil gallery plugs, rear main seal was wrong and leaked everywhere, wrong timing chain installed and incorrect cylinder heads. I could go on and on but if you want to hear more email me, I'd be glad to let you know about them. I'm a little late on the post but hopefully you haven't bought anything from them.Gas Grass Or Ass-Nobody rides for free!!!

I know this is a old thread but I have one of those Indy mustang motors in my 55 sunliner and after about 18,000 miles its about done,it was a mismatched batch of parts and from what I have heard I am suprised it lasted this long. Jim is still selling motors under DRS motors and possibly other names so watch out and I think he is also selling them on craigslist too.
So, wee Jimmy is sitting at the dining table doing his homework. He turns to his mum, Sheilia, and says, "Maw, would you do this homework for me?" Senga looks at him and says, "No Jimmy, you know...
