Anyone have any experience with these guys? They are out of NC.

I am thinking about either a 383 or 408 for my 66. Any issues with swapping in a crate motor?

Thanks!

I have their 383 stroker. It's the A3 if you go on their web site.

Do a search on any Cobra forum and you'll have plenty of reading to do. Some love T&L, many have had nothing but problems with them. One thing for sure, don't order during NASCAR season as that is their #1 priority and you'll be waiting forever (regardless of what Lloyd tells you). If you live close, go there and talk to them. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

There are plenty more out there like this thread.

Lloyd is sometimes hard to get to but if you ever talk to him, he's a great guy. But you are somewhat correct, it's a crap shoot with engine builders.
