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

The internet is an imperfect medium of communication. If you'd pointed
me to that post when I asked about it, I could have explained. I get a
lot of Pantera guys asking me to help with their engine projects and I
help as much as I can. A number have asked me about the expected
availability of your block. Some of the guys need or want a block in a
relatively short time, say a couple of months. For them, your block is
not an option. For those that decide they can wait, they need to be
prepared to wait for the block's development to be completed, the initial
batch of orders delivered and a second batch produced. My post was simply
meant as a warning that they needed to be prepared to wait an indefinite
time. Given that my post was some 7 months ago and you're still in
development, I think that was a reasonable statement. I did not mean to
imply I personally was unhappy with the wait. I knew full well the risks
when I put my money down.

I do admit to being unhappy that you unilateraly decided to send back my
deposit. When I sent in the deposit, I assumed it to be a contract of sorts.
I provide you with capital to help develop the project in exchange for you
holding a place for me in the initial order of blocks at the agreed upon
price. I'm sorry you decided to breach this agreement because of a simple
post I made. In any event, I wish you the best of luck on the project.
