Using the Cad Company catalog, you’ll be able to put together a Parametric Box to help you and us both save time (and money, too). When you call for parts, be ready to fill in the Parameters of Use, Performance, Goals & Budget. You’ll describe the intended use as, say, Performance Cruiser or Street/Strip.
By using these parameters, we don’t waste time taking about parts or complete engines that don’t suit your application. (Or are way over your targeted budget!). . . . Because our telephone time is at a premium, it is absolutely necessary that you have some idea of what you want to do when calling to order parts.
