I am considering purchasing a 383 forged assembly short block from ebay made by a company called M&R Engines from Glendale CA. Its selling for about $2200.00 The price is good but does anyone have any experiece with this company or any opinions on them? Thanks. :)
Can't help you on the manufacture, but take a look at his credit rating. If he is around 100 percent than you know that everyone approved of his product.
They got a nice website! Doesnt help though.
Yup, a guy's feedback on eBay is the first thing I look at when contemplating a purchase from someone I have never done business with before. However, if there's a couple negatives, take a look into why the negative. Sometimes the reason for the negative is something really stupid....
I Have Shopped E-bay Many Times For Parts.i Have Had Good Results By Doing My Homework.one Thing That Worked Well For Me Was When Checking The Sellers Feedback,match The Numbers From The Part You Want To Buy With Past Sales Of The Same Part,e-mail The Customer.most People Are Happy To Tell You What They Think,unhappy People Are More Willing To See That You Dont Get Taken.of Course No Matter How Cautious We Try To Be There Will Still Be The Jerks Who Want To Get Our Money No Matter What They Sell Or Say To Sell It.check Your Local Builders,summit And Jegs,you Might Find A Deal And Even Save Some Money.
I have no input on the quality of their product, but looking around their site brought back lots of memories. Looking at their Race Engines I see they have spec motors for Mesa Marin.....I spent a lot of time there....Heck, I took the photo i used for my avatar there....The last race there was Oct. 15, '05....
Ill check out the feedback and also shop around to see what my best bet is. Thanks !!
I checked their feedback and in the last 12 months they've had 187 sales with 3 negative feedbacks. Two of them dealt with shipping problems and the other one was on rod side clearance which was apparently cleared up to the customer's satisfaction. That gives them a 98.4% feedback rating which isn't that great, but considering that 2 of the problems were shipping related, I don't think that is too bad.
