I recommend going with reputation and pay a few extra shekels than try to save a buck with the unknown. I put a Chevy 350 crate in my 80. Bought it from the local dealer. They sold it to me at the same price as the cheapest price on-line. Payed sales tax but I figure same as shipping charges. 12 month warranty (unlimited miles.)and I know where they live. BEWARE of E-Bay! My buddy got ripped for $6,000 on a Ford crate motor on a scam out of Russia. It's a twisting story and he is no dummy so don't think it couldn't happen! He ended up buying directly from Ford for $8,000. Expensive engine eh! |laugh|

Vette(s): 1978 vette with an 80-82 stlye rear end molded in. BW six speed & an L82... for now. Lowered with VBP springs and bilsteins. Polished torq thrust wheels. New paint, audio system, aluminum radiator... Flowmaster and extreme flow exhaust components.
Very good advice... With something that expensive I don't think I'll be trusting enough to send a money order through the mail. I plan on driving there in my buddies truck and paying them in person. |thumb|
