I performed a search on the above company and found one bad thread (sorry for the bad experience). Has anyone else dealt with this company? The prices are obviously good and if some folks are like me - I will take the effort to provide a bad experience but seldom do for a good one. Anybody have experience with the above company?

Yes, I bought an engine from them about two years ago. Complete junk!! I pretty much paid $2,800 for a good carb and water pump. I usually would build my own engine but I was remolding my house at the time and wanted to get the vett back on the road and bought a crate engine from them and got ripped off. I never got my money back so I reported them to the Better Business Bureau. Do yourself a favor and build your own motor or buy from a reputable company.

Thanks 11Jake your thread was the one I was reading. Sorry to hear about your experience. Anyone else have experience with this company? I have to believe more than one has done business with them. I wouldn't mind pm's if you would prefer.

My cousin years ago bought a 350 from them for his 78 Camaro he was putting together. Immediately after he installed the motor it started knocking real bad and after that it threw a rod. This was less the 100 miles on the motor. He never did get his money back and he said they wouldn’t return his phone calls or emails. Sounds to me like a bad company to deal with. I’m glad that Durango Boy me our building one by ourselves for my ’74………….
