sad but true
The clone class is exactly how the racers want it to be. If they did not want it this way it would not be this way.
who says i am crying , the prices of these toy engines is of absolutly NO concern to me at all !! i just seen this in print and thought it was interesting conversation . as for building a engine not a problem for me at all , but i dont have to ........You have 3 choices,
#1 Learn how to work on these clone engines and save money, buy a Original Box Stock Project engine and run a hone thru the big end of the rod, check the valves for seating and set the valve lash. Put a 38 main jet in the carb and go to the track. You can ask how to do any of these task on here and more. Later you can learn how to max the carb to a legal 615 and a lot other things you do to blue print one. This will not be a National Event engine but it will run good enough, if you run National Events you should not have problem paying an engine builder anyway.
#2 Pay the engine builder of your choice.
#3 Quit racing!!
I love these engines, it cost twice as much to build Flathead with same HP.
um no its not, i was racing the clone when they were still stock, the clones now are the way motor builders want them, they saw a decline in profit's from flatheads so they moved to the next engine in line

I don't know of any rich motor builders.Um no its not, I was racing the clone when they were still stock, the clones now are the way motor builders want them, they saw a decline in profit's from flatheads so they moved to the next engine in line
I know plenty that claim to not make any money, but one look at Todd Millers place tosses that out the windowI don't know of any rich motor builders.
predator stock class and paint the whole motor to seal it.
Tod has a reputation for being able to get his customers around the track quicker than most, and there is a good bit more to it than just motors.I know plenty that claim to not make any money, but one look at Todd Millers place tosses that out the window

I can accept the fact that we are not getting rich is this sport, passion for it, but not getting rich and still having to work 14 hour days, its a tough business to be in! Here it is Sunday night and yep still in the shop..........LOL
By the way what is the definition of being rich anyhow...............maybe rich with things in life other than money is of real value!
