Thinking of starting fresh...Any deal with this company??

Ok.. Well I am thinking of starting fresh and doing things 100% the right way.. So I am looking at doing an engine swap.. The engine would be completely built by professionals.. I found this place on ebay.. I believe it is Phoniex Muscle Cars... They offer built up engines that will work on TPI vehicles... They offer many different choices of engine from 305, 350, 383, 396, 427, and 454.. Here is a link to the TBI motor they are selling.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200293957429&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem==..

Just wondering if anyone has heard/used them.. And also if they could give me some input on these engines.. Not sure what would be best for my 87 Iroc.. I am probably going to change out everything... New trans, rear, gears, etc.. just wondering what size engine would be nice.. thanks for any input..

Well, if the numerous spelling errors in the first ad were not enough of a turn off, check this ad from the same guys:
CHEVY 1960s 327 - 350 HP CRATE ENGINE
The 350HP 327 used forged tall dome pistons to make high compression with 100 octane leaded gas necessary to make 350HP.
His rebuild has:
NEW SEAL POWER FLAT TOP PISTONS.
The rods and crank say "FORGED".

Get this : "The Frist Gen, Swirl Vortec Head " WTH? Swirl ports and labeling them vortec?

Or get this Swirl ports:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3615&viewitem=
Listed as the "best street head and first gen vortec"

What a joke.
