He even went out of his way to have someone coming close to me deliver something in person and we are a good distance apart. I have bought many small parts from him and a set of ported iron heads that are on the 496 in my car today.This is the third engine they have been on and save for a spring change they are still as delivered. Class act that doesent do advertising and deserves our(mopar community) support. George
