I am going to purchase their 5.1 for my 98 Cobra when taxes come back so I wouldn't be able to vouch for a few months...

^^^^be careful with chp.......I had/ a customer had one shipped there from CA and it arrive with the box around it all busted up and literally rolling around on the pallet, all the plastic = a total of three had broken = **** poor packaging, and when I unboxed it the rear main cap was busted, CHP blamed it on the shipping company, the shipping company blamed it on CHP faulty packaging and 4 months later issue was finally resolved with chp taking it back but customer paying to ship it back,, wtf I said, I have pics as proof, IMO to far to take a chance

I remember those pics! it looked HORRIBLE,

Go over to www.fordstrokers.com

I never bought anything from woody but he is a great guy! i got the chance to go to his shop and talk to him (i know his cousin) and he has no problem taking time out of his day to answer your questions and give you advice. Very knowledgable, very helpful, and very patient with you!

just my .02 cents (ps dont go with D.S.S racing...... they are also right in my back door, and they suck)

I'm just finishing new new stroker motor.
I got the kit form CHP.
Very good service. Fast too.
Only thing is, don't have them do the balancing on it.
Reason; Unless they are using the EXACT balancer/flexplate or flywheel it won't be dead on.
Get the balancing done locally...

I agree with KWEB288. I just spoke to Woody yesterday about buying a dart 347 block and he was very helpful and suggested a few items. A friend also had a bad custumer service experience with CHP. Just my two cents!
