Brian... I am not to sure why you are "chuckling"... He is a friend... But it isn't like he and Barbara come over to my house for fried Chicken on Sunday... and his business is building High end Drag Racing cars... Go to his Web Sight...
http://www.pattersonracing.com/ just his shelf engines are 35-45K... So the fact that he would even build a 7K motor is fairly new for him..
When I build my 66 Chevy II, I wanted him to do the motor for it and he said "NAH I don't do stuff like that" but sent me to a friend of his that did...
The way he can do a "cheap" engine is to work it around everything else and the fact that Allan himself is building this engine instead of one of his guys means he has to work on it around the daily business operations and has to do it to work with my budget and that isn't something he has to do... the people he typically works with just tell him to build it and send them the bill...
