I see the name Dynoflo came up - I love there adds - I love the prices even better - I have been tempted - I have visted the Dynoflo shop near Vegas on (2) occasions - I like the owner -the warehouse is in a good area - the warehouse is nice - all good news so far - I have been known to date fat chics, I'm not that picky, and even more important I'm cheap -
I would NOT PURCHASE an "assemble part" from Dynoflo - Assebly needs to take place in a clean, quite controlled environment - that is NOT Dynoflo

THere are a lot of other suppliers now that are competitive with their pricing. I will probably still use them from time to time though.

i will also agree with JEFF they have gotten a lil to BIG and with the counter help things are'nt as flawless as when scott did it . i just sent back 2 cranks they they shipped wrong , and a set of pistons but they made it all right just set the job back 2 weeks cause they refused to send the right cranks till they recieved the wrong ones back and i even ate the friggin freight ...

He sent me 2 sets of rod bearings for SBC. I didn't catch it because I was used to having Scott get everything right and sent the stuff directly to the machine shop. The guy called on the phone and said WTF is this?
You have to take the good with the bad.

Ditto , he did the exact same thing and sent me the cheap bearings ,we tossed em in the garbage and bought a set from Winners circle the clearances were so off ...... Im sorry to say i think Scott advertized in powerboat with some great prices and got so buzy he dont give a crap anymore ...The last phone call he was so put out by a problem with his guy sending a gen 4 crank for a gen 6 and hung up the phone and said he was too busy to talk i almost sent it all back and cancelled it on the credit card ... he built 2 good motors that he insisted i could run to 6600 rpm and they would'nt break and we did'nt and i tried my damdest ..even had a spare motor on the shop floor cause i thought i could break em ...

And you'll still have the thin-web passenger car block and twice the expense. 4-bolt blocks are plentiful. In addition, complete Mercruiser engines are valuable. The heads and cranks individually are almost worthless. Complete it will bring enough $$ in rebuildable condition to get you a 4-bolt block and probably a nice set of rectangular heads. In there you can stick a 4.25 stroke SCAT rotating assembly and have a 496 for about $2500.
