There is a company on ebay selling a re-manufactured 2056 long black for $2,225. Has anyone dealt with importmotors.com before? Also what will I need to take off my old engine to complete this Long block to run?
Last the core charge would be $300, would it cost more to ship it back then the core is worth, they are in Southern Cali, I am in NY. |

I don't think they have such a great rep. Maybe find someone more local that can do a proper rebuild.

First off I don't have any experience with import motors. They may be a reputable company.
BUT, I would be a bit concerned that the price of the motor is less than the retail cost of parts to rebuild a motor properly. Price out the parts to build your own motor. I did LOW budget rebuild last winter and spent more than that for parts alone. Also I am CHEAP! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I don't see how they could turn a profit for a quality build. I would do some serious research and check references. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm down the street from them. From what I've read on this forum, search their name, I would not buy from them and I can drop it off in their driveway if I'm not satisfied. I'd be even more cautious if I had to ship it to NY.

Many other posters on here have gotten the same info - stay away.
Just use the search function on here for them & you'll get more than you want! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
