Hi John,
No worries on the cost or questions - that is what the forum is for. Don't you hate when you see "PM sent" and you miss out on the info?
I didn't look at an off the shelf Holley, but instead "prepped" Demons and Holley's. These were going to be in the $500-$800 range pretty easily, although off the shelf these would be in the $400 range. Stan's carb will be a little bit more than the prepped ones, around 10%-20% over that range depending on what you want (I have not got the final price since it isn't done yet). Check with him, I'm going on discussion costs and it might be lower or higher.
However, a couple of guys that have used him said the thing was right on the money when delivered - that is worth a lot to me and probably most people. I'll give a full report when we run it, no matter the outcome.
I bet if a couple of folks from the forum got together and contacted him you might could work out a group deal, especially from the UK I bet he'd like some business (I don't know this, I'm just suggesting - internet group buys are a nice bonus of forums and bringing people together).
His contact email is
stallionracingcomponents@comcast.net
When Stan sends some flow numbers I'll post those too. He knows what he is doing I think and I liked communications with him that read on forums, and via PM with him, much better than the other two builders I'd tried before. I also tried a local guy, but just didn't like his approach.
