Anyone know of or have experience with this company?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...6341QQtcZphoto

They have a 7yr/70,000mi warrenty. But I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this company. I am not sure if I want the 383 yet, but it doesn't seem like to bad of a deal. Let me know what you all think.

Its for a 1987 firebird.

dont know them...but i'm looking at going with a 383 as well....these guys look pretty good.....the 2nd one i had a 331 stroker 410hp for my 93 GT and it would fly and the motor sounded and ran extremly well.

i got my short block from T&L engines, they are a pretty decent company with cheap price, they will build the engine how ever you like, look at the numbers in my sig that the engine produced

they seem to have a good rep and have been selling on ebay since 2005 with a 99.7% feedback so they must be doing something rite... id probably ask for a bigger cam though that seems kinda small for a 383.

What cam should I ask for? Are there quality parts in it? Anybody see any weak links in this motor, power and reliability wise?

give them a call, they will help you through everything. for your cam selection, base is off of where you want your power to be. i chose a 219/219 for a lower power band 1500-5000ish rpm. choose a higher lobe separation for a high power band and so on.
