It seems to be a Chevy Dealer in a town called Arlington Heights. Maybe they want to compete with scoggin-dickey...

Also looking for info from anyone who has dealt with them. My son is looking at getting a crate engine from them for his '87 Camaro.

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.
