Re: crate engine depot??

If you call ask for Greg. He is known as Two Tons of Fun on tbssowners.com. Very cool straight forward guy. They are a vendor over there.

Re: crate engine depot??
They are trying to sell him an S-10 engine bored out to 3.4. Info on their website says this particular engine is for use with carburetors only. Why don't they have a Camaro 2.8 bored to 3.4? Warranty says "engines are intended as a direct replacement engine, and if not used in the application for which it was intended and designed by GM will void any and all warranties" Something doesn't smell right.

Re: crate engine depot??
Only comment I can make is I have found better prices. Seems like Fred Bean has the best GM perf parts prices.

I have no problems with you guys at all. I have just found better prices often. I am sure you are a great company but in the day of internet shopping it's always easy to find best price. I don't go by price only but will only buy from reputable dealers or companies I have heard about.
