Default Anyone bought a Schwankey motor before?

Thinking of buying a 427 stoker next year and a friend of mine sent me this website, just wondering if anyone has done bussiness with them and if they are good, good prices compared to others i have looked at.

I have one. I had to tear it down because of a lifter failure (TREX killed it). The bearings looked brand new in it. Can't say that I am displeased with it. I have had lifter failures in the past with different LS1s. It seemed to be a pretty strong running motor and didn't make any cold start noise or use oil like the last stroker did (Different Builder).
