I contacted several Ebay'ers about AR and they all had great things to say. Excellent service and the engines are as stated. I am going to order one!

Just to let you know I bought on of there engines. It is in a machine shop right now because they did not put the oil plugs in and it won't get oil pressure. They said they would pay for shipping one way. Why should I have to pay for there screw up!! Plus I was told they put a steal crank in it because I was running a blower and the guy at the machine shop told me it cast not steal.

Got another engine from them a year or 2 later but that engine only lasted for about 80 drag strip passes which is relatively short.. According to the machine shop that rebuilt it, the main bearing clearances were too tight.. They also swapped camshafts on me.. I wanted them to use a specific COMP Cams camshaft but they used a much cheaper one with similar specs..
