Got an engine from them in three weeks to my door. All questions answered promptly. Was considering the T&L but couldn't get call returned and by internet accounts it appeared that it took about three months to receive engine which wouldn't work for me. A guy who works there is on this board and can probably help you in your decision.

That first site that was posted I would be leery about a place that does not check spelling and gramer in the're ads. Not to mention from what I read it looks like they are reusing the crank and rods from as stated before junkyard engines. I would go to a junkyard and buy an engine and put it in my car like it is before I would buy something from them and save $2,000. Thats just my opinion.

I regret to here you couldn't get your calls returned, I will pass this on to Lloyd the owner tomorrow. All I can say is we are going through some growing pains if you remember who you left a message with let me know. I can say right now on averge it is taking 6 to 8 weeks to fill an order. As for the engines themselfs the only used part to them is the block itself which are jet blasted and tumble blasted clean as new. then they are inspected for cracks and any other problem before they are decked, bored , honed and line honed. I personally do all the balancing all the cast crank are eagle cranks and rods on the 347s. the forged 347s are K1 cranks and rods. The forged pistons are JE SRPS right now because Malhe are unavaleble which is what we usally use. The hipersitic pistons are speedpros. The cams are custom grind comp cams I belive but I couldn't swear to it because that is out of my area.

I'd venture to guess that greater than 95% of the people on this board do not possess the skills/tools/time/desire to build their own engine. Affordable crate motors like this are the next best thing.
