Rogue Speed Performance. Is located in Johnstown N.Y. You are welcome to deliver your engine in person, or ship via semi truck freight. all visits are by appointment only. I am normally available any weekday afternoon or evening 9:30 - 5pm EST

Normally once I receive your engine or car, I will continue working on other jobs ahead of you until they are complete, then I will begin yours by tearing down the engine block. I take pictures of each component during disassembly and send you an email And or text of these pictures along with a detailed description. I will explain any issues, make recommendations and suggestions, and let you decide what to do should additional part replacement be required. Once these issues have been decided upon, I will proceed with the build, and again photo document the cleaned/inspected/prepared parts prior to and during assembly of the block, so that you have documentation of what you have now. Then you will have approximately 1 week to pay the balance and pick up or ship the engine back out.

My standard procedure for starting a build is as follows:

I need all of your information including full name, street address, city/state/zip, shipping address (for truck freight, if different), phone number(s), and year/model of engine. I also need all build specs such as paint colors for the engine block , apex seal and porting options, and any special requests. You can send this information via email or in writing at time of dropoff.

• Payment is payable via cash, credit card in person or via internet invoice,or paypal online transfer to I take a deposit of 50 percent up front at dropoff depending on the nature of your build. This deposit may increase with certain build options such as more expensive seals or other components. IF applicable, the deposit amount is taken off of the total price of the build.
