Re: Fw: 440 head question

Bill,

Deal with Bill at Hughes Engines and he's a real gentleman and will help you 
out with anything.  Ditto for anyone at Mancini's.  They told me a stock 
torqueflite was good for up to 600 HP so that's what I built my car to have.

When the stupid motorman who built my engine lost my pushrods and I called 
Tim at Hughes, Tim turned me over to Dave Hughes who sent me a new set 
immediately FOR FREE!  He said he was feeling generous that day.  But that's 
how they are there all the time.  Simply the salt of the earth kind of 
people.

I sure hope you get the job you are looking for as you would be a big help 
to people as you don't like rude anymore than I do.

Good luck to you and God Bless You and may he keep your MOPAR fast and you 
safe.

Chick

Chick
That is why I am going to put in a application to work there part time in 
the sales department.
The two times I have been to their business to purchase heads the man who 
waited on me had the social skills of a pissed off badger....
Being rude to customers has had to cost them a lot of money in lost 
business.
I figure the guy who waited on me is part of the family who owns the place 
but it does not give him the right to be a prick.
End of rant.
Later
Bill Harrison
