Thread: How to shorten a small block Ford.

"So I called March Mfg. March is right down the road from me in Naples Florida, and they are USELESS! They could care less if they help you or not, and were extremely dry on the phone, like he couldn't be bothered."

I had only one experience with March and it was the same as yours. You'd think a company in this economy would be chasing a sale like a male teenager chasing a female teenager! Boggles the imagination! I won't waste my time ever again with them!
Thanks for all your hard efforts.

Like you, I was surprised at the cold reception I got from March. I mean, here I am, practically in their back yard, and they were really indifferent to trying to answer my questions. During that first episode a couple years ago the guy was more interested in telling me they don't sell retail and that I was not welcome to visit their business to try to sort out what products of theirs I could buy that would work. Instead I had to air freight 3 different setups from Summit and finally end up with a combination that would work.

This time I figured I just got one guy who was having a bad day, but it was exactly the same reception I got the first time...........very unconcerned and unhelpful. I guess March has so many customers through their distributors that they don't need any more ! So now my opinion is that I wouldn't buy a March product if my life depended on it. Too bad too, because their stuff seems to be pretty nice. Zoops was just the opposite and were great to deal with.

My experience with March was "deal with it!" I wanted a stock set of pulleys, their setups for a 460 either overdrive your water pump or under drive your alternator. For the prices they charge I would think they would try to be a little friendlier too. Most Part makers in the industry have bent backwards to help me along the way on my truck build, but I would agree March is a bottom dweller. The problem is there are very few aftermarket pulley makers, so I guess they can sqeeze by with poor customer service. I've got march alternator brackets so I guess I have to be gratefull that they even make those!
