LOTS of us do business with 44source, EXTREMELY reliable. EXCELLENT customer service, no discount (prices already very low)

I plan on buying from them sometime in the future when my money gets right but I will be checking/miking/weighing every piece I get from them. "I feel lucky"

I have bought a stroker kit, W/P housing, oil pan, timing chain/gears, flexplate, and various bolts from them. All seemed to be as advertised and were good quality. Their page is also VERY informative.

The only thing I don't care for is they don't have web ordering so you have to call during their business hours. It's a small thing but I would think they could start the whole e-commerce thing by now...

That aside, they seem knowledgeable and were polite on the phone. No discounts as far as I know of....

I have absolutely NO complaints about their products but understand that you are getting what you pay for. Example: the crank dampers that are "chrome plated" are likely done so because it's less expensive or more durable than powder coating. However, they are not done in a flawless show quality finish. The units are assembled, machined, plated and then final machined. Worth the price ??? Of course !!!

I have bought from them three times. I've got their heads, oil pan, distributor drive shaft, and a good assortment of other things I can't think of so far. They have been great. All parts have been as advertised and their customer service has been A+. With me being in Canada, they've always shipped things out by the means that I want, so I can only say good things about them and their products. I would not hesitate to run their stroker kits in my car if I had the coin.

I used their 383>496 stroker kit. I also had a reputalble shop put the motor together and dyno it:Wheeler Racing. The motor made 555 HP and 610 ft/lbs of torque on the dyno.

They get a thumbs up from me.

Hello:
Although I don't post often on this site I do pop in and check things out...I do have to say that although I have not bought a lot of big ticket items from 440 source (a couple pair of heads and some rocker arms). What dealing I have had with them have been very smooth and satisfactory, on the phone I found them very helpful and courteous.
It seems to me that we should give Brandon and those few like him that are trying to provide us with the parts we need to keep our hobby alive. The support and encourgement to not only keep up with what they are doing, but the foresight and willingness to make big dollar investments. Who knows how long Mother Mopar will keep supplying factory parts, or for that matter how long she will survive.
The world has changed and it's no longer 1955,
we are no longer a manufacturing giant, instead we are becoming more and more a service based society. Like it or not we will continue to have to purchase goods from other counties. So maybe some of us should take a good look around and accept that fact, or invest their own money and tool up a make an aluminum 550 Cubic Inch Big Block of their own.
To Brandon and the other's like him Thank You and Keep It Up.

Maynard
