It seems some where from when I files this report and today Chris has changed his name to Jay.

my experience with this company and its owner is almost the same as the above person. i bought an engine from chris after many assurances that this engine (383 stroker) would be compatible with my vehicle (95 chevy tahoe). after i installed this motor i soon came to realize that it really wasnt compatible with anything. we couldnt time it for a stable idle although i was told by chris to time it at 0 and it should be fine. we ended up advancing it to 8 deg. just to get a stable idle from it just enough where it could at least be test driven. in driving it there was absolutely no power from this motor. it also ran rich and was eating alot of gas. there were also numerous internal sounds that were definite causes for concern. we tried to adjust the timing at a number of different settings and got the same results. after trying to drive it casually the motor devoloped a pronounced piston slap somewhere between 30 and 50 miles on the engine. i called chris and demanded a refund. he responded that when i signed his warranty i gave up the right to a refund and could only send the motor back to him for repair. you have to wonder about a business that wont give a refund for a motor that was defective out of the crate! anyway after much arguing with chris, where at one point he suggested i try to sell the motor, and after i told him i'd sue him he suggested i send the motor back to him for repair as per his warantee. we went that route and in the meantime i picked up a chevy crate motor from gm because i had learned to simply not trust this individual. when he sent back the motor i tried selling it and had to do so on a contigency basis where the prospective buyer would install the motor and hopefully if chris lived up to his word the buyer would pay me. well when we started up the engine it was as though no repairs were made by chris. the piston slap sound was plain as day and the prospective buyer was extremely disappointed. needless to say i wont be selling this engine. i wont deal with chris anymore, he has proven to me that if i want compensation from him i will have to proceed legally whether it be in a criminal or civil courtroom. i am now speaking with my state attorney generals office and considering all options and possibly criminal charges. to anyone is thinking about doing business with this individual read my statement and judge for yourself.
