If it's legit there has to be something majorly wrong with it.

Sounds like that builder from Texas that people have been having problems with, memory is vague so I may be wrong

yeah, a little fishy. obviously knows what he has, but isn't priced to current market value ..... it's either priced for QUICK response/sale, or fraud .......

You can see my site at jtengineDOTnet   <------ or not .... the site is invalid, not even registered (also tried other combinations to make sure)

lol ... ok, I missed adding an 's' when searching, shoulda known better. but he also should have known his own website address, otherwise it looks fishy when you try to look it up.

in which case ...... a rebuilt hemi for under $10K??? sounds like a super steal if built correctly (eg: isn't crap before you even pull the heads/pan to inspect it)

Business address on his website goes to a small house in a nice neighborhood.  Not exactly large enough to store all the parts he has shown on his site.   :clueless:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Guys, this guy is a scammer!!! He almost took me for some hemi rocker arms I need, he sold a bunch of stuff on ebay, and within 2-3 weeks he got a boat load of negative feedback! He keeps advertising he's from mission texas, who knows where he is. He advertises on racingjunk, ebay, Craig's, be carefull. I asked if I could have someone local pick them up, because things were not adding up that he was legit, he said no, he does not want anyone he's not familiar with looking around his shop. I then asked how do you get customers then? ( claimed he owned a machine shop) his only answer was "no strangers" ...run from this guy.

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :villagers: I live in Mcallen which is 10 min away and NEVER heard of this guy EVER and his BIG inventory is even more fishy. BTW I tried calling to see if he would answer but I guess my area code gives me away. Im guessing that he will answer all calls that are out of state only to rip people off.


NOTE: Look at the AAR on his website.................Now look at the other site  FLAG HIS ADS!
