This same thing happened when Larry of 'MotorcycleLarry' passed. His daughter tried but orders were paid for but never shipped. I know of 25 bike riders that paid but had to fight PayPal to recover money but a few used Debit cars and may never recover.

Their Facebook page has this message, dated 14 March: We appreciate your patience as we transition to our new location.
Our phone lines are currently down, but you can still reach us via email:
mike@engine-swaps.com They haven't responded to that e-mail, for me anyway. There are people on FABO that are out money for parts ordered. A business that has no parts, and now the phones are down Well, I wouldn't hold my breath about getting any parts. Nor would I send them any money. If you are local and can get your part in hand and pay for it face to face, great. I've been trying to get one of their torque straps for over a year, and finally decided to fab one of my own.

Me neither. I was looking for 340 motor mounts, and luckily I found the last set Rhino had.

One of my friends called him last fall and got the information that he sold out as a part of a larger group of companies. He was hopeful that new owners would restart the business, but that seems to have not been the case.

Anyone else sell mounts that allow a late model 5.9 to go in 68 Abody? Shouldn't that be the same as the 340 mounts? If so transdapt makes a kit that will put it in a 68 A body that had a slant six. If it's already a V8 car you existing mounts will work with a spacer on the driver's side if it's a 273/318 otherwise if it's a 340 then you can just use those.

I wonder if anyone is producing those tri-y headers. Don't need them, but always thought it was a neat product. I have a set on a 65 Sport Fury and love them. Easy fit and nice performance with no leaks.
