Default Great experience with Schwalm's!

I am so pleased with my engine and transmission rebuild from Schwalm's. My engine was picked up by a shipper on September 9. It took two days to get there and I just received my rebuilt engine with new Babbitt and transmission on October 25th.
Talk about turn around, 32 business days!

Here is everything I had done:
  • Rebuild Model A Long Block (1931)
  • New 5.5:1 Cylinder Head
  • Balance Engine Components - Crank, Rods, Pistons
  • Counterbalanced Crankshaft
  • Performance Intake Valves
  • Type 1 Lightened Flywheel/V8 Pressure Plate
  • New Clutch Disc
  • New Camshaft
  • Install Cam Bearings
  • Machine for Oversize Tappets
  • Resurface Manifold Side of Block
  • Water Pump
  • Transmission Gear Box Rebuild
  • Shifter Tower
  • Bell Housing/Peddles
  • Seal Shifter Shafts
  • Bell Housing Bolts
  • Helicoils in 5 head studs

They kept me up-to-date through emails and phone calls. Excellent service.
I am beyond excited to try starting her up later this week once I get it installed.

EDIT: Added to original post to make it easier to find:
I was able to get everything put back together after work last night. Here is the video of the first start!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EpN3lda_L8&t=1s
