The few screwing's I`ve got from buying parts online were from members on fabo.
I`ve had better luck on ebay. Sad fact![]()
Fair enough. But I'm just explaining my reaction because of a red X. Not gonna throw one back just because.Actually I did not single anyone out. But u took exception. But I agree too many bad deals are happening all too often. Kim
Exactly. There are bad seeds everywhere.I'm guessing not from well known members, right?
I got screwed by a guy with less than 30 posts a few years back but luckily Paypal refunded me my money. Also got screwed by "Uncle Tony" when he sold me a rusty spare tire well to replace my rusty spare tire well.
Other than that everyone has been great. In fact I've had 2 or 3 guys send me parts for free, despite us never even having a prior correspondence. Most people here are really good people.
ThisThe guy is an *** for outright lying about the condition of the engine.
Your friend isn't too bright for looking at pictures of a rusty 340 and thinking he's going to get a rebuilt 340 for $1200 just because the wording in the ad says it's rebuilt. One doesn't need the heads off or a bore scope to know that this wasn't a freshly rebuilt engine.
If the engine is rebuildable, then he didn't get totally swindled because that's the going rate for a 340 in need of a rebuild.
Naa, they were here for a few years and posting. I can tell lurkers and flippers, not too hard.I'm guessing not from well known members, right?

Karma certainly is a *****. I DID NOT say it was ok to screw people over. Can you read?! The buyer went and looked BEFORE he bought it. He could plainly see that it wasn't rebuilt. BEFORE he bought it. Well, he buys it anyway. Then pisses and moans AFTER the fact. Idk.... Should it have been advertised rebuilt? No, probably not. Should the buyer looked more closely or even walked away from the deal? Yes, probably so. It was certainly the day two fools met..... Where's that dead horse emoji?!......
Not anything in relation to my quote but I love Uncle Tony really... but anyway $1200 isn't the end of the world in 2023 money. Take the engine and hone it and assemble it and fire it up if it isn't machined to your liking send it out. Alot of people "fresh assemble " an engine and it sits for like 15 years till they decide to part with it, looking at it, Id tear it all the way down anyway and see just what is good /reusable with it. Id bet if you opened Uncle Tonys slaghammer 383 it looks just the same...I'm guessing not from well known members, right?

Took years to put the parts in service and took a man for his word, which is a dieing virtue online.
Pretty expensive parts.
4spd.
center section with sg
steering box.
I`ve bought a bunch of parts from others, and was good transaction.
Not saying everybody on fabo is a ripoff artist.
You have a better chance of recourse on the bay
ya never know thats why I say quality is in the eye of the assembler... they may have figured the new rings would "hone the rust off..."Who puts new pistons in a rusty old block. lol

I dont necessarily disagree but these days ya end up in jail ... I think if I was the Purchaser id tear it all the way down and see what I have BUT there is the "freshly assembled claim" that is a bit off putting...I understand 1200 is 1200 and I also understand what some of us have to do to scrape up 1200.I guess he missed the ridge on the top.
I bet it wasn't honed at all.
A flashlight would have shown new pistons giving the illusion of a fresh build.
The seller needs his nose broke. old school way of dealing with a rip off.
I know, Dirtybird and his pals.Who puts new pistons in a rusty old block. lol
