- About Skip White Performance
I'm sure many of you have noticed there are 2 high performance engine builders in Kingsport, TN with similar names, leading to a great amount of confusion.
We are Skip White Performance, NOT White Performance and Machine.
Due to the name similarity many customers looking for us online inadvertently find them, thinking we are the same company. Definitely not...there is no connection between the two companies. We don't have a problem with free enterprise (competition). However, when the competition builds their foundation on such things as a name similarity and their supposedly long history of being in business, then we think it's about time we set the record straight.
We have owned White Performance since 2003, with the exception of the machine shop, which was owned by Fred White at the time. He continued to operate the machine shop and build engines for us while we continued selling online under the eBay user ID of skipwhite and the eBay store name of whiteperformance1.
Due to their limited production capability and many disagreements about the engine building process and workmanship, we opted to open a full scale machine shop of our own a few years later. Fred White began competing against us even though our contract had a non-compete clause in it.
As our business grew, we opened a second, much larger warehouse and machine shop around 2011, located on Brookside Ln. in Kingsport TN. By putting heart and soul in this company, we have become the number one street rod engine builder in the nation.
Fred sold his shop to an investor in 2016 and the new owners continue to reap the benefits from this confusion between the two shops. This investor lacked any knowledge of this industry. They continue to use the White Performance & Machine name. Contrary to what is posted on their website, Fred White is no longer associated with the company in any way. Their main spiel in advertising is, "In business since 1979," when in fact, we purchased the White Performance company in 2003, with the exception of the machine shop.
All in all, we have been in this business going on 17+ years. Skip White's passion has been owning and building street rods for 47 years on a personal level. The knowledge he has gained over time has allowed him to venture into this business and succeed to a very high level.
The great pretenders continue capitalizing on our success due to the name similarity, but have been degrading our reputation. We have been getting calls nearly on a daily basis from people that now realize there are two shops in this town with very similar names. Customers complain of serious problems in getting their engines in a timely manner from them, many of them waiting for up to 8 months or more on an engine that was promised to them in 6-8 weeks. They think they purchased their engine from us. Due to the confusion, there is an increasing amount of negative feedback that is affecting our name within the street rod community, when in fact we have a near perfect reputation in this industry. We have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau and we have maintained the A+ rating for many years.
FAST FORWARD TO PRESENT DAY...We have become the largest street rod engine builder in the nation. Our engines, rotating assemblies, and cylinder heads are built to very high standards and shipped to our customers in a timely manner. We are a premier seller on eBay with a positive feedback score of well over 206,000 and growing, as compared to our competitor’s score of approximately 24,000.
Our engines are custom-built to our customers' specifications and are shipped in approx. 2-5 weeks, perhaps sooner, depending on the season. Our rotating assemblies usually ship out in about one week or less, and our heads ship in about a week or less.

I wish I had seen this video about the first of Oct... I, instead, ordered a kit from March.
Waited 6 weeks.
Kit came.
Instructions had black only ink smeared between pages at the outset. Went online and printed color instructions.
I got as far as pic 4.
This was for an OLDS 403 with ATI SuperDamper and Edlebrock Performer heads.
Missing bracket for the rear of alternator, I think. Also the bits sent in the kit to mount the alt. just didn't. Instructions were so poor I really could not tell what I had or what I was missing.
After 4 calls to no avail; pictures sent to March etc: I gave up. Put everything on the counter at my Summit and spent the refund on the CVF kit with high hopes of making it happen this time.
Would this fit in a G-Body? (87 Monte Carlo SS)
Great Job 👍
You help me make up my mind. Ordering mind real soon. That makes the engine look so clean.
Good one
how much is this one i order one from march also its on the way
I am so on the fence with this and the holley mid mount
This has 30% more belt grip, the holley system uses a 6 rib belt this is 8 rib, easy choice, get the 8.
