    Anyone ever dealt with Carolina Machine Engines?

    Not really needing an engine right now, but I went on their site (had a ford 302 rebuilt 17 years ago by them and it was great) and noticed they had some nicely built MOPAR engines for a good price. If you've dealt with them in the past couple years how is their service/products these days?
