Whilst browsing around a few sites..came up with this company who are highly regarded apparently on the US forums for there Motors.

They do several Crate Motors big and small, this is just 1 that caught my eye....

Don't go there.

The builder posts on Moparts (not the sharpest pencil in the box) , someone on here had a few issues with MM , i'll let him fill you in.

Aka Brutus.

Well I know from reading that Indy have issues if you buy from them ..so go to a middle man they say, but if that middle man doesn't sharpen his pencil well enough...well?

I remember ordering my strange half shafts all those years ago for the '69..I specifically told them 2" narrower than stock, what do they send me...stock width shafts, so send 'em back and they managed to get it right 2nd time around....brain dead or what

There was a thread on here somewhere regards Nick and MM along with the excusses they made , can't find it though.

Had a cam over from the states for the 605" , cam card was mis-printed , fun and games that was.

A few good guys over there although they think were dumb nuts and 'anything will do as they won't know the difference' , same applies to the forums , moparts/yellow bullet etc , they all think were dumb.

Then again matbe we are.

Didn't have a problem with them - though heard some of their claims to be exaggertated hp wise. They forgot the inlet gaskets though but I can live with that. They're big into stroker kits.

I remember Nicks thread, bit of a horror story!

Personal recommendation is the only way i'd buy over there.
Andy Neal put me onto S&W for my rear end and they were faultless.

I guess it ain't changed much since I bought stuff 20 ago..or maybe its got worse?..sounds very hit and miss to me......and that ain't good enough anymore!!
