What size wheels can I fit?  Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region   |
They seem to have engines available most of the time. Has anyone bought from them? Specifically has anyone bought an engine from them? If so, was the engine as represented?
Just trying to do a little homework. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Hi Mike,
I bought a 1980 3.0L engine from them and they were very slow to ship. It took me one month to receive the engine. When the engine arrived it was missing parts. So I had to wait another month to get the parts. When we started the engine, it would only idle and ran poorly at higher RPMs. I called them and no one would help me with their "guarantee." I finally spoke with the owner who said if it idles good, that constitutes "runs good." We finally troubleshot the problem to the fuel injectors being gummed shut. The engine showed signs that it had been sitting for a long, long, long time. Shortly thereafter, the hydraulic chain tensioners failed. This was not a good experience. I can't prove it, but I think they are selling engines they don't own. When you buy one, they go out and find whatever crap they can and that's your engine. BTW, the auction we won was for a 1981 engine and they shipped us a 1980 engine. I would not receommend doing business with them. Andy |
