Well my cousin texted him this morning. His wife answered back and said her dad died and she did not care about anyone or anything going on. It is just another excuse.

Thanks guys for all the help.. I'm the one that sent him the heads at first his dad that lived in Michigan died an then its just been 1 excuse after another. to begin with when i called his wife would answer then that number was disconnected. tried making contact via email an another number i found but to no avail. then i tried her number again an it was back working an she texted me back after i made repeated calls an left voice mails. she would not call me. an the heads have always been going out the next week. sent them an email an said i didn't want to hafta get a lawyer involved but i would. the next time i finally got her to text me back she told me she shipped my valves an stuff with another order bc i told them i was gonna get a lawer to handle it.. WTF so you had my parts an you didnt put my heads together and send them to me an of course i got no answer. keep in mind im sent them two sets of heads before Christmas of 09 and sent Full payment in January. I finally received my lt1 heads i believe the end of march first of April. but still no ls1 heads since i received the lt1s that's when communication was lost with them. i call an text many times through the week an usually get 1 bs excuse back. an she makes out like its my fault. I don't understand the mind set on these people an ANY help would be greatly appreciated. the name of the business is HiFlo Engines
his name is Chad lively And hers is Brandi Lively.. Thanks Guys

sounds like its time for someone local to "help" with the situation.
Where did they advertise and how much did you pay(not including cores)
Believe it or not you dont need a lawyer. How did you send payment?
Anything handled over net or US mail is treated by USPS as mail fraud.Tell them you are going to post office Monday(and dont just make the threat,do it) and pick up the forms.
Local post office will have them and will help file it.
