I dont know. You guys have to take into consideration that maybe they are starting off selling on the web. To get a name out there you have to have credibility and to do that people have to buy your engines. So what better way to sell the engines then to have a great price. I would if I could to check it out.

Go to ebay and type in NASCAR. Make sure to change the price to highest firts. The motors run from 2999 to 6000.

I'd be real careful. Maybe go visit the shop and see just what they are doing.
You always get just what you pay for something and when peeps start talking about 'cheap' it makes me wonder......

I am right up here in Chapel Hill, NC. My uncle lives in charlotte and knows all the Nascar people since he works for NBC announcing the races. Hell, he just had thanksgiving dinner with Gordon. Whats the name of the company? I am actually going to my grandma's in high point in about an hour and he will be there. i will ask him if he knows about them. If its nascar, he should know.

I talked to my uncle today and he said that the T and L company is quite good in fact. He said they have been building busch series engines for a long time. They should be pretty good. I am actually thinking about maybe getting one. I am going to have him check out their company on Monday and ask around the Nascar scene about them.

Thanks Woody for checking. I am waiting to pay off the loan on the car I plan on racing and once that is paid, Ill get a loan on one of their motors. Hell they have a 427 stroker that makes close to 600HP for like $5500-6000. WITH A WARRANTY!!!!!! That definatly will be a 7 liter Chevy Eater!!!!!

Hey!!!!T&L Engines just did a build-up in the newest MM&FF magazine. They built a 347 and put down over 420HP!!!!!! They seem to be legit and well worth the money!!!! Figured I would give an update on the topic since people were skeptical!!!

Its in their newest magazine. I havent checked on their website yet. They are doing a Budget 347 buildup and T&L is putting it together. I do believe that its legit and am looking foward to getting an "ebay" engine to smoke some rump at the track. The 347 puts down 400HP, the 418 makes 450HP, and the 427 makes 550HP ON PUMP GAS. They engines come with a Warranty and are in the price range of 3,000-6,000 complete minus.......Headers, Carb, water pump. Cant Beat that!!!!!
