Just wanted to let you all know to avoid doing business with these clowns. I bought a 302 short block from them over a year ago. They sent me a 289 block, but I said oh well it has a 302 crank even though the block is weaker. On break in three lobes flattened out on the cam and after about a two month turn around they sent me a new cam. I had to buy my own gaskets and a new timing chain because they sent me a different style cam than the enginge came with. Well, back up and running I get 50 miles on it and it begins knocking. After tear down three cylinders and pistons a severely worn and the other 5 look like new.
The local machine shop says there was not enough clearance on those cylinders and that is why the damage from friction. Larry's has heehawed around and told me to email pictures which I have done twice. When I call they say they haven't gotten the pics. They don't return calls or answer emails. I am out about $1,400.00 and don't even have a useable block.
Just be warned.
