He built my 455 in 1994. It performs exactly as we discussed. No problems. And, compared to my local options, his price was very reasonable.

Jim Butler and his wife Joy are like a brother
and sister to me. Have stayed at their home many times. Watched the boys grow up over the years.

Jim was the person that arranged the sale of my
NASCAR style "flat collector" headers to Jim Brady
(another PY member) many years ago. Since the beginning he has always treated me fairly. He has
never built an engine for me as I build my own but I am sure that if he did it would be faster
than any naturally aspirated engine I could build.

My highest recommendation! Tom V.

Jim Butler and his family, have done some excellent work for me, I recently purchased from them a set of Edelbrock heads which flow true to his specs, 345cfm, for a IA block he built for me.
Excellent services and always willing to give advise. Good luck

I'm in the process of placing an order with Jim Butler for everything except the block. David has been really patient with me over the last few months and I really appreciate all the help and patience he has given.

I have emailed a new task to find out for me...maybe one of you guys might know...I want to send the parts that I am ordering from JBP in TN to my head office in Montreal where I will get it put into a 40' container with some inks that I will be ordering....what I want to know is...Are there any duties etc to take something into Canada from the USA if it is going to be shipped to Sydney Australia.

The reason why I want it sent to Montreal is then the shipping charge will cost me only what it will cost to get it to Montreal and not the aprrox A$3000 or I'm expecting it to cost me if I organise my own shipping seperatley.

Yes. The package will need to go through customs & they will charge you duty & taxes on the parts.
