    I bought one a couple years ago and could not be happier. It makes good power, doesn't leak a drop anywhere and came with a 12-month warrantee and free shipping. It cost less than I could have built one for and had nearly all new, US-made parts, including ordinarily re-used parts like the oil pan and the timing chain cover (302 Ford). Do a search on ebay for a seller called "enginebuilder1" and you'll see he has many types of engines and parts and perfect feedback from buyers.

    I bought a couple from Flightline engines , found them on Ebay and called direct . 3yr warrenty on them . NO core return either .
    It was for late model chev's . Looked like all new parts inside even the pushrods and rockers or a damn good job of cleaning them .
