Anybody here ever deal with Tim Banning from FHO for anything? I'm pulling the trigger on a 572 street engine in August. I've heard good things elsewhere, just wondering.
Sorry. I'm no help

Most popular and having the best reputation of crate Hemis over here in Europe is Indy engines.

I must be out of touch. I don't even know what FHO stand for. Or ... does it stand for something?
I was on the telephone, in a conference call, to Ray Barton when one of his engines had over 15 thousands front to rear movement in the crank on the thrust bearing.
His solution was to loosen the thrust main cap and beat it one way or the other to tighten up the clearance. This was on an aluminum block with dual side bolts and dual 1/2 studs. :yes:
I removed the crank, sent it to have the thrust main hard chromed and reground, never to call him again for any further "assistance"...:no:
I have dealth with him on several occasions. He builds a good motor, stands behind his work, and you pay for it.
If you need the handholding, have no engine builder that can help you out, and have that large of a budget, he is very reliable.
PS FHO does not sell crate engines they are all custom built.
