Reply to "New Heavy Duty 351C Block, by Tod Buttermore"

I have been in contact with Tod and have this update for everyone:

As posted on the cleveland forum, Tod will be delivering blocks to engine builders soon, and expects to produce his first run of blocks soon afterwards. He is readying to begin production.

The following is copied and pasted from the Cleveland Forum:

I am heading into the machining phase of the project so it is just a matter of time now until blocks will be ready for test building and then sales. I have avoided taking deposits up till now lest people attach the Genesis debaucle to my project. They took deposits without even having a pattern completed. I have a partially machined block with tooling and fixturing underway. I have invested quite a bit of myself and my money into this and thus I am not fearful to say that I am at the point where I am comfortable to take deposits on the first blocks that will be produced.

My plan is to do aluminum fist, since it is easier to machine, and my machine shop has gone through the learning curve on the FE blocks already. I have some 25 people interested in the aluminum already and another 25 interested in iron. By this I mean I have that many names on file. I imagine that once I begin taking deposits takers will come out of the woodwork. Guys on the Cleveland forum have been loyal and patient supporters of my efforts so far, and so I would like to offer my promised discounted price to Cleveland forum members.

Those who want aluminum are looking at $2600.00
Those who are going to want iron are in at $2100.00

I would like to see a 30% deposit on the discounted price. When these things start to ship I will be completing the sale according to the order in which deposits were made. I believe to be fair that I must refuse to take full payments.

For members of the Pantera International Forums:

Any member of the PI forums who is willing to make the 30% deposit shall receive the same discount that was offered to the members of the Cleveland forum, this includes members who expressed interest previously AND any members who have just made the decision to purchase a block.
