I would think a reputable builder wouldn't ask for more then 10% down, and give you a reasonable time line?

I've seen several engine builders ask for 50% down to cover their out of pocket cost to purchase the necessary parts and machine work. It allows them to get something back for their labor if the customer flakes and doesn't pay for the rest of the build. Then again, when someone puts 50% down, they don't usually walk away from it.

FWIW - My brother bought a nicely rebuilt Pantera engine from a local builder for his 70 Mach 1 a number of years ago because the customer failed to pay for it and pick it up. I'll have to check if there's an engine number on the heads still.
