4000 and a year, and SD Wheeler gives me this...

I paid for new block, oil pump with TSS billett gears, balanced/blueprinted shortblock

What I got is a used ebay block, a saleen kit internal that NEVER been to machine shop, slapped together in an evening... sloppy... fingerprints all over pistons... junk!

an old block, no oil pump; much less the billett gears.

Get there, load up shortblock... he says nothing about motor...

I ask/point out... there's no oil pump?

SD "oh, by the way.. had it in the back of my pick up...we stopped and got gas... must have been stolen"

Wow...

So, he thought i'd not notice... but, after noticing and poiniting out the obvious... he still refrains from mentioning the seasoned block.

I purchased, and was promised NEW block, billett gears, etc...

The parts look 'kit'... dont think the've seen any machine shop...

I paid 4000$ a year ego for a ebay used block, and out of the box 'saleen' kit.

I made sure block was secure in my truck before mentioning oil pump... b/c I knew mentionig block would have led to another insulting lie, and taking the block off my truck.

Its my sad trophy... a mess, from fingerprints all over pistons... mess... a hot mess.

I call and ask why this wasnt mentioned... his reply:

Why didnt you mention anything face to face?

I did! I said...no oil pump... your reply was so funny, my girlfriend had to take a double take, and go sit in the truck to keep from laughing...

Now, this is what it is... I tell sd he is no longer in the equation of me and my heads b/c I paid, he's having mach. shop do them; give me the name of machine shop.

DS: **** you,.. and hangs up.

I have pics of my oilpumpless shortblock, and 'ebay used block' "only 1000 miles :laughlots:" like every block on ebay... geeeze.

Gave him a chance to come clean with the block that Id obvously notied... nothing.

The only chance of me getting anything, is what i got... if it'd been shipped... Im sure he'd swear the shortblock he sent had oil pump with gears, and was a new block... and blame it on transport.

Gave him another chance to be honest, come clean, face to face... he couldnt do it.:laughlots:

Tell me you had to use a seasoned block and it checked out; proof of it... nothing.

NO build sheet.

The man is a lieing piece of trash. Period.

Im pretty sure his dad had to get him outta this bind, again...

What are the chances of me seeing the 2500$ worth of heads/hardware I bought... was promised???

About what my year old 4000$ shortblock ...

I think Ill post this auction this junk to big shops... use as a marketing tool:

Do business with us, or pay more, wait a year, and get 'THIS'... your choice.

He's too stupid... got that long covered

i'm having a hard time deciphering the transaction as the composition is so bad.

wondering why you would accept a bogus deal in person and then complain to 3rd parties via the net.

i must be losing something in translation.

It looks as if the OP maybe didn't have the sand to stop and say, "This is NOT what I paid for".

It also doesn't sound like the dude that built this thing is never going to make good. File in small claims court and take your lumps when the judge says, "I see no paper work anywhere that outlines the product you say you paid for."

Then take the block to someone else and have it completed. Wave Buh-buy to your heads and whatever else.

Start with someone reputable the next time instead of some kid that still lives at his dad's house (or whatever the case).

not true, did call out the oil pump... and made sure I kept it... if I have nothing... THEN I have nothing.

It's the d-bag's word against the OP. The OP can call out the d-bag on no paperwork, but the d-bag could say "if the engine wasn't what I promised, why would he have taken it home? He kept the good motor, and is trying to get a refund on a junker!"

It's a win for the d-bag, and the OP pays MORE money for court costs.

Expensive lesson.

More money for court cost... not a problem...
