Exclamation Motorcrate.com Rip Off! Do not buy!

I Bought A 390hp TbI V8 On Ebay From These Guys. Greg Is The Salesman. First, The Engine Is Not Ready To Ship. They Have To Build It. It Took 9 Weeks To Recieve It After A 3 Day Ship Time. I Purchased A 350 Longblock. I Only Had To Bolt On My Own Intake,covers And Pan. The Truck Ran Before The Swap. It Was Professionaly Installed. The Engine Blew Up After 50 Miles! It Had A 7 Year/70.000 Warranty. I Shipped Engine Back Only To Be Denied Warranty Service Based On Alleged Detonation. Greg Offered To Rebuild For $500. I Reluctantly Agreed. Week After Week I Inquired As To When They Would Ship. Greg Will Tell You Anything To Get Rid Of You..."just Give Me One more Week". Excuse After Lame Excuse Lead To 4 Additional Months To His Final Excuse After His Third Claim That My Engine Was On Its Way... "We Lost Your Engine" We Will Build You Another. After Repeated Phone Calls And Two Months Passing, I Had Enough! He Has No Intention Of Returning My Engine Or Money. I Will Sue In Small Claims Court. Feel Free To Contact Me For Any Details. Do Not Buy From Motorcrate.com

This is why I don't buy anything important off of eBay. Important being anything other than an intake.

If that's true, you are a VERY patient.
