Any one use Bert's inserted engine
I like Bert's and am thinking about buying a new short block. Wondered if there was any feedback.
Thanks,John |

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
I've been running one of Bert's babbit engines for years. Wouldn't think twice about buying one of his insert engines.

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
I've bought parts from Bert's both original and reproduction.
Never been un-satisfied they are a great bunch of folks, among the very best. |

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
A number of my friends have Bert's Inserted Engines, from high performance Miller OHV engines to more stock engines, with a few in between.
All engines have performed very well. I am also helping. A friend install one this afternoon. I would recommend them without any hesitation. They can also offer other modifications like Stipe Cams, higher compression heads, etc. |

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
The guys at Berts are top notch. If you should ever have a problem with something you purchased from them, you couldn't be in better hands.

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
Or give you the block with a blank SN (old # machined off)
There is a guy on the swap meet that sells the correct steel stamps so you can stamp your own.

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
What is the reason for the purchase? Can the block you have be rebuilt?

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
I can contact the him but would he do the complete motor and assemble it? I will pretty much do anything on the car but the engine.

Re: Any one use Bert's inserted engine
I am sure he would call him and talk to him, If I was closer I would give you a hand. Do you belong to a club?
