Two transactions with them in my family, both had issues. You can message me if you're interested in details.
 
Never heard of them...but from these two lines alone I can tell you they either 1) don't know their ass from fat meat or 2) use the cheapest Chinese parts they can find...but I'm gonna go with both:


This is in reference to their 460's
Performance Upgrade, 415 Horsepower, "Lopey" Idle, 9.5 Compression $2496 POR $1296 POR

Performance Upgrade, 440 Horsepower, "Choppy" Idle, 10.0 Compression $2496 POR $1296 POR
 
I like how they give HP numbers for their shortblocks. That mean I can stick some low comp smogger heads on that shortblock and make 325hp?!?!

Exactly my point. Battle that every day. Well your short block is $500 more expensive AND you can't give a power rating...you guys suck. Well, it's more complicated than that. I gots me flat tops, a dubble pumper and camel hump heads, seen a build in Hot Rod just like it. Good luck with it. Couple weeks later, we can't get XYZ to work/fit/run right, can you help. Sorry, call your builder...he doesn't know either. That's because he thinks plastigauge is a precision tool. /Rant.
 
Are these the guys with the cheap strokers that somebody was talking about the other day?
 
Don't know.
They want to buy a bunch of ctd cores from me for an obscene price.

Too good to be true.

So I rode down and visited them yesterday.

They have quite the impressive facility. Probably 25 guys working there .

Forced to guess I'd say they had 500 engines on pallets racks ready to ship.

Their machine area had white walls and floors and you could have ate off it. I was impressed.

No clue how quality their product is ... thats why i asked , hoping someone else had bought from them.
 
Oh that's a no brainer and done..

I like referring people to places. I like connecting dots. I'd love to be able to refer these folks to people based on how they treated me and their facility. I'd love to be able to add, I haven't used then but I know a guy....

That's all
