I've seen them selling a few motors on there. You may want to email past buyers and ask them. Also ask if they are on these boards to check out info on here.

There is a company in AZ that makes lots of LSx motors for the Grand Am Daytona Protypes, wonder if it is this company?

Exactly, you might be alright buying it but i would rather spend a few extra dollars and get a motor from a bigger place (such as Katech, or ourselves). They say in the ad "the best parts on the market" yet they are using eagle parts. They may be the cheapest but they are def not the best.

These are the same guys http://nonsupportingvendor.com/ incase you want to know. It is realiy easy to make something sound bad or good if you want. I have been on these boards for a long time now and have seen most every body that sales something be + or - . This just because people have openion of what is good and what is bad. Same gose on what parts are cheap and what are not. Just read your own post throught out the years and you will see that. Not all parts are made the same this true, but you have to think of people like Patriot Performance They are cheap, but if something gose wrong they fix it. Then there are other that are the same cheap! That make there product good eagle,mahle,comp,and so on. The list could go on and on the market has many items to pick form just for that reason. This board is founded on keeping cost down and fun up! That is why many here buy cheap and put it in there self. Then you have the people that can not do it or do not want to do it and spend big bucks and by form the big guys to have the same fun that we cheap people do. The only thing is I could spend big buck I have them I am just cheap lol. So this is just my two cents worth and is not worth much because I cheap! I am and Engineer with a mba that like to do his own work and like being cheap! Might be that i am and engineer with a mba who knows. And for that fact who cares lol being cheap to me is a pluss. If it breaks or i break it i just buy another cheap one because it only cost me half of what the high priced one did. Oh well enough about cheap. The high priced guys are going to get pi--ss off lol. The hole reason for this post is for fun lets see how many have fun!!!

Yea, I've delt with these guy's. They buy stuff from me on Ebay on a regular basis. (pistons, rods, bearings, spare parts) They seem like a good bunch.
How can they build engines so cheap you say? Because of people like me

And by the way, I'm an engineer too. Cheap must run in the business.

And if we raced i would be coming around you with my expensive parts! I am not going to get pissed i just laugh because i get to charge the big buck to the people who used the cheap parts and did it themselves when i'm fixing their screw ups.

How's this for fun. You may be an engineer with an MBA, but you obviously didn't fare well in English. Please proofread before posting.
