Default SSPerformance screwed me over !!!

I would've never expected being screwed on this purchase but it happened.
It took well over a year to bring me to this write up but my patience has expired.

Below is a link to the For Sale add:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...ver-built.html

I purchased what was supposed to be a short block from SSPerformance.
It was to be assembled by MCP Competition Engines and paid for by SSPerformance.
At the time of purchase it was not assembled and was to be at a later date. (This was agreed upon by both of us)

I bought the block, crank, rods, pistons, lifters, camshaft, tunnel ram.
At the time of assembly, SSPerformance was to pay MCP for assembly which was to include rod/main bearings and rings.

I went over the parts that were left at MCP and there were no lifters.
I contacted SSPerformance about this.
He did nothing to resolve the issue.
Shortly after, SSPerformance would not answer Calls, PM's, etc.
He also had my phone number blocked.

SSPerformance screwed me on the costs of bearings, rings, assembly costs.
I NEVER EVEN RECEIVED THE LIFTERS I PAID FOR
The aluminum connecting rods didn't fit inside this block with a 4.25" stroke as well and was told by builder they never will.

I absorbed quite a bit of added costs to get this shortblock built thanks to SSPerformance

BUYER BEWARE
HIS WORD IS WORTHLESS
