#34241, "420A Prebuilt short-blocks.."


          

Hey guys, I met a guy the other day who owns a business called RPMExtreme or something like that... He filled me in that they have preassembled 420a shortblocks, with Eagle Rods and Wiseco Pistons (8.5:1 comp) available for shipment in 1 week for $1100 bucks. I thought this seemed a little on the cheap or to good to be true side... So I just wanted to post to see if any of you were familiar with this company??? Thanks!

Hey guys, I really dont have all that much info on this guys company or this product. I have e-mailed him with some more questions on what exactly comes with the block but when he wrote back all he said was "long block wiseco pistons eagle rods berings seals oil pump" . It's been taking him about a days time to return my mail, So i'll post what he tells me asap... If you guys have anything else you want me to ask him just let me know or you can e-mail him yourself at sales@rpmxtreme.com
IMO this sounds a little too good to be true... Has anyone else heard of this company before or done business with them??

I would be wary. emoji because the site was made on a free trial and is no longer accessible. Plus a long block, if I remember correctly includes the head as well. He could have made a mistake but still I'd be a little worried about ordering with them.



I edited to the wiki!

Hey man, sorry guys I've been away for a day or two... anyway I'm pretty sure this guy is based in Florida... I'll e-mail this guy again and ask him exactly where... This is a really good deal, I hope this guy is 100% legit, I'm sure he'll have a ton of orders!
