Default Chris SWEENEY- AVOID AT ALL COST

I bought an engine from this guy a year and a half ago. It was a complicated situation but he agreed to help rectify it. There were issues I THOUGHT they were being addressed but all I got was over a year of lies, broken promises and parts not returned.

As of a few months ago he stopped responding to me at all. He is located in Winchester, VA. Even discounting the main issue regarding the 408 engine I purchased from him initially, he still has my PCM and full set of injectors that he has declined to send back to me after he needed to asses them.

Even though up until now his name had not been put out anywhere, he has threatened to sue me over "defamation of character" and for saying rude things to him. That's not quite how it works...

At this point I am certain I will never get my parts back but I wanted to at least put this out there in the event you consider buying from or dealing with him.

EDIT: I texted him afew minutes ago and he tried to claim that he sent the items back months ago. I called him out in it and told him to not bother after he said he would try to get someone to locate the tracking number. If you run a business it's easy to look back and locate information like that. It shouldn't be that big of a task. I told him what I thought of him and that I was done playing this game. All I can do is chalk this up to experience

Chris stole my 502 complete motor & turbo 400! I paid him to transport my Camaro from Virginia to Missouri. He told me his truck bringing my car broke down & would be delayed. Well had several story’s by the time it was done. He owns a couple business Cash Tow & Transport & Twisted racing. Or what ever new name he has given it . I have a report to the sheriffs & the DA office. Who Chris gave a whole different story to. & he hasn’t shown to a court appearance yet .

Firt things first this motor was sent to your machine shop which took it in and told you it was goof to go, second you want someone to pay for a motor that you blew up, your tuner even verified you drove the car on a stok tune and that blew up on the dyno , NOT MY PROBLEM
