I would'nt mess with it since the only thing you are getting is a stock rebuild with VERY LOW compression pistion's,would be waste of money IMO..

Though I cant vouch for the company reputation thats selling them thats actually a good deal for what your getting. When you consider that to have just the block fully cleaned and machined, as he's described, at a local shop can cost anywhere from $200.00 to $250.00 thats not a bad price. Your correct that its basically a stock rebuild but the keith black pistons and other parts used are of better quality than the stock pieces they replaced. Though if you are replacing an earlier version of the 5.0 that came with forged pistons it might be abit of a step down. Again I cant vouch for the quality of that particular seller but the price seems reasonable and his feedback looks good as well. Just my .02
