The sad part is, you'll be buying an engine from a guy who doesn't even know how to wipe his ass without consulting a forum somewhere for wiping directions.
God help the poor sap who buys from him.

Ouch! I assume that is the same person as the seller that Red "purchased" his heads from?

Yes. Apparently he "dropped them" onto a different engine.:harhar:

It might just be another "Matt" in Columbia MO who pretends to be a engine builder but not professionally :********:

I wonder how much extra he charges for the little plate that says built by DB :skeptic:
somebody call him up and ask if he is going to put a marine cam in it :bump:

Hey-Guys....excuse me for being dense, but I don't read much into message boards. I read a few PM's here, but didn't notice a link to a thread in 'off topic.' In any event, I raced last Sat and took another semi final spot with a slipping trans. Now I have another thing to take care of on top of everything else. As far as DB goes, he has been honest with me, as far as I can tell, and will refund my money. He may have been a victim himself, I dunno, but I don't have an axe to grind at this point. My money will be needed to do necessary repairs, so its fast return will be helpful. If I get my money refunded, DB has done all he can do and there is no reason to think fraud. He may have been a victim of his machinist's action intentionally or unintentionally. I was told the machinist shipped the heads without insurance and tracking, very foolish IMO. Only his machinist and maybe DB knows what happened on that end. I speculated on what was going down when the heads did not arrive in a timely way. DB explained what was happening in a reasonable way and I respect that. It may be that DB was the real victim and I can't take pleasure in that. The return of my money will confirm this scenario, and, as the world turns.

OK guys, we all incl myself had quiet some fun with this thread but it's time to get a little serious here. As it stands right now forum member 'Red' is out the money for the heads he never received and now his tranny is giving him trouble and as it sounds (slipping) it's not a cheap fix.
Money is tight these days and with Christmas coming up I am donating my TH350 that was built with bulletproof parts and a shift kit (previous owner had it done) to 'Red'. It has performed flawlessly while I was driving the '79 with this trans. I don't like automatic transmissions so it's been sitting in my garage since I replaced it with a TKO600.
Does anybody have a set of Vortec heads laying around ??

Sorry man the only heads i have laying around are the ones that came off my 78L82,which would be useless for a racing motor,and i have no auto tranny parts,I guess i'm just worthless :flash:

Kevin, the trans is taken care of, he just has to stop by and we'll get it on his truck..... he's only 45 minutes away (that's 45 minutes in a truck) so he can have his new tranny next weekend.....
Maybe you know somebody who has a set of these heads ??? These seem to go for $700 all over the net... cleaned and rebuild that is.... I'd think a used take off set is a dime a dozen.... not ???

At this time i sure don't know anybody with a pair of vortec heads,but i will keep my eyes open. What would a pair from the salvage yard go for? take them home and rebuild for less than new? maybe? i have never messed with the vortec stuff.
