Default Tuff Dawg Engines

Thought I would post a cool link, this movie is of the same engine that I bought from Tuff Dawg. I have a few different items installed on mine, but you get the picture. Incredible craftsmanship and a very reasonable price as well. Check it out, after I get mine running I'll post my own little wmv for your viewing pleasure! LOL!

I have it mated to a C-4, 2400 stall converter.
It's killing me to get it on the road. Driving me nuts - soon enough though. I should have it running in a few weeks. Been working on it for a year now - interior, tranny, engine, brakes, detailing/repainting engine bay. Been through this dog with a fine tooth comb, can't wait to take home a few trophies with it!

I research several. Went with Tuff Dawg.

Ask for Darl. He is great.

Bought 302/328 with two options. A. Stroked to 331 CI and B. Hydrualic Roller Cam. Target HP is 360/370 HP. Works in my 66 Mustang. A great street car. Great power. Idles smooth. Runs fast. Great accelleration. Reasonable price.

Matched with TCI rebuilt C4 with wide ratio gear set. Very fast. The wide ratio causes my 2.80 rear end ratio to act like 3.10-311 ratio in 1/2 gear. Gets 21 MPG at 65+MPH.

Default Tuff Dawg Engines

Bought a tuff dawg engine and it blew, threw 2 rods, after only 563 miles. Returned it and then had to sue for the warranty to be honored. Luckier on the second one, it lasted almost 3000 miles before the same thing happened. I THINK THEY ARE A RIP OFF !!

You're the first person that I have run across that has had something bad to say about Darl and his engine packages. I don't know you personally but I'd like to know what your driving habits are.....any chance that EXTREME ABUSE caused the failures? Just asking - please don't take it personally. There's always more to every story...just can't help but wonder!
