I dont like to get on a mebmers case but this time I do.John slams everything about the Source.Ive never heard him say he bought anything from them.If he did and had all junk then he could run his mouth.He just likes to bash.Im happy with the stuff Ive bought and will buy again.Ps Ive never had any rpoblems with the stuff I got.Rocky

He actually said one good thing and almost sounded like he was defending 440 source the other day...  I thought he was on his death bed or something! here it is... https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=5180930&page=1&vc=1It was so un-john like as if he was either made to say it or someone was using his id.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Ok, so I have bought one, and John has his attitude because he has found similar results. I consider myself to be honest about aftermarket stuff. The fact is, some seaped due to casting issues, and none seem to have the right spacing for the Tstat. This is not a case of "my car is the far end of the specs". This is a case of THEY ARE IN THE WRONG SPOT and they don't care. That bothers me. It should bother more people. But this is what the US market has turned in to. Long as it's cheap, we'll make it work! 
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Read my earlier post about the great MP American comp.The SS spring hangers are wrong even though they say 65 B body.They are an inch too long on the holes.Then they cant even get the studs drilled in the proper spacing.They have been like that for years and dont care.At least if Source has a problem they try to fix it.Oh and ask John has ever bought anything from them?Oh and lets not forget Eddy with their intakes that the bolt holes dont line up with the heads.Im not talking about a head that has been cut either.I had to open the holes on the last 3 Intakes that I installed from them.Rocky

Most parts need some mods.A few people here couldnt sat anything good about the Sources parts if they gave them to him and gave him cash to boot.I just bought a set of SS spoing hangers from an Americna co MP they were for a 65 B.Guess what they dindt work.One inch too long and the studs were in the wrong place.Guess thats OK.Rocky
Not it's not OK , send them back , or are you another one that is happy with substandard parts because you believe that most parts need some mods to fit ?
Free parts and get cash to boot , where do I sign up ??
i have to agree. they need to fix the problem

We aren't talking about anybody elses parts  , All you are making EXCUSES for the product in question that is the topic of this thread, if you accept crap and modify it to fit then you are part of the problem not the solution .

Sorry boys.. A part with casting errors is incorrect. We have known Brandon for many years and yes he does deliver value-priced stroker kits and heads..  If he knows there is a problem the buyer should at least be made aware of that point before purchase. To find out about it after the component arrived is not a good business practice. Just my $0.025..

)... And 8 pounds less isn't going to make my tank any faster, so I'll be using the stock one.

What if the housing gets damaged beyond repair during the process. I suppose youll just buy another and have at it again believing it was your own fault it was damaged.
