Has anyone from Texas ever had any experience from Thunderbolt Engines in Houston? I might get a new one form them soon. And wondered if they were any good. There website is http://www.tbolt.net/index.html

might wanna make sure they are 1 expirenced with race style motors

and 2 able to build a competant motor, by being able to line bore, deck bore and hone witha torque plate and such...

Ok, I'll be shure to ask them. But what does hone with a torque plate mean, anyways?

Competent? :wary

Have any of you Houston guys heard of them. They use to have the commercial saying "We put the Yee-Ha back in your motor or transmission!"

i wouldn't let them put a motor in my car. Yeehaw this, choader commercial.

LMAO! honing with a tq plate means taking a big fuggin drill and honing the cylinder walls with a tq plate. a tq plate is a support that makes it so your honing isn't crooked.... right guys??????!!!

Well, they are the cheapest option I can afford. So I'm considering it from them.

Maybe if you buy your own motor and make sure it's assembled correctly before you bring it to them.. they strike me more as a place that would hunt boneyards for a motor to put in your car than a place that will actually build you a motor.

I dunno, there's something about late night cable advertising that just rubs me wrong. In that same vein, i wouldn't buy furniture from Father Amco, either.

HAHA, its just the place is very reputable. They have been around along time and my dad even remebers them from when he was a kid as a good engine building shop. They remanufacture the engines. So if it was from a junkyard, atleast I know it would be rebuilt. They also test there engines before they give it to you, so I figure any problems I would have would be at a minimul.

sounds like you made your mind up before posting. why ask then?

just want to know what others think
