Need opinions on 406

I've also talked to the guy on the phone...seems real knowledgable and says he's been building engines for almost 30 years.

The place I'm seriously thinking about is Gustaf's machine shop. Here's the link: http://www.gustafengines.com/

I have the details worked out, and it'll be a 406 pretty much complete (minus intake,carb,dist) for 3900.

Includes: Scat steel crank, JE forged pistons, Dart Iron Eagle heads - ported, Scat rods, Comp cam w/roller tips, broken in and Dynoed.

I'm just a little leery of laying down that kinda cash to a person unseen and a place unknown, even though he says he backs his work 100%. Anyone dealt with them, or anyone simular??

I'm sure many have purchased engines on the web...what was your overall experiences?? I'm itching to order, yet a bit leery at the same time.
