Few days later Ryan G (408strokerdart iirc) calls me and you could tell from the tone of his voice he wasn't happy. I had the other "junk" head under my bench at work as the guy who attempted to repair the port hole in #3 had given up and shipped it down here..... and low and behold two of the ports were cracked in that one too.... ripped up the check, stupid pos cost me $30 to ship, and he had a new door stop . Distributer went to a guy named Gary up in MI... called me and told me the cap on the distrib was broken... pizzed me off as I'd packed it pretty good... but got off the horn with him and called Summit and had one drop shipped. That was the only time I had the opportunity to talk with Unlawful. Overall I've had good experiences with people here. Most of the parts I've sold have been shipped before payment arrived. No problem getting ripped off now.... the W8 project drained me for everything I had

I got the " novice to the sport " vibe from him and I let him have it for the price of the ride to Belvedere , Il. Never heard back , but the gear was beyond what I would use and I was switching to a 742 case , so he just saved me from tripping over the thing till I found another home for it. Hopefully , he learned something. I prefer to think that over the idea that some one older used a clever ploy , sold the part and had a good chuckle at my expense. I haven't been burned bad enough to matter in any car dealings.......I could usually recoup some of my outlay and that cut down the price of the lesson I got. But I am ( kind of like Popeye ) what I am , and will do what I do. How others do their thing is up to them.

With the Gen III stuff gathering steam , I think we are ones of a shrinking number who are willing to make the commitment it takes to do a righteous LA platform. I guess it would work for a more sedate build too.......the plate don't know what letters or numbers the heads have. That's just the kind of thing we should be able to expect from our fellow enthusiasts. Well..........the one's who aren't ( insert derogatory remark here ) anyway.

I've bought a few things and in most cases they've shipped the part before payment arrived. I've also given a few pieces away to guys that needed them.I've also dyno'd a few motors for some members and friends and told them to just bring the fuel. You reap what you sow. Dave

I have 2 sets of 360-1s. one was ported by Dwayne porter and were flowing around 317 on the intake side @ 700 lift. not a max port job but had great low lift numbers. ran strong on my stock stroke 360. the other set were max ported from some guy up in Minnesota. they flowed like 335 @ 700, this was on my stroker motor in the arrow. both very mild combo's the stroker made about 100hp more.

The reason I was asking is I found a set of intake gaskets but they r for the 230 CNC heads. Oval ports. I was going to ship them to you free so you could buy your 5 dollar AN fitting. Lol

I sent a fixture to a guy so he could fix his block I even paid shipping, never heard from him again. I've sent parts to numerous guys for nothing. They've said thank you.
