I ordered a used engine from carpartexpress.com from Texas and they shipped it to Windy City to install. Everything went to plan, motor is installed and runs like new. The cost was cheaper by $75 than initially quoted. I am very happy and will be a returning customer. Thank you!
Nice but they dont build performance engines. Can you build a 3.2L SHO engine?
Not impressed. Lost 3 of the main cap bolts and took almost 4 weeks for the job to not be finished. Did not balance the pistons like they were suppose to, and did not tell me I had to get a line hone. Had to take it to a different machine shop to get the job done right. Suggest you look elsewhere.
Bought a set of GT40 heads from Windy City and had nothing but problems. The first issue was the threads for one of the spark plugs was stripped. Called them they said no problem send it back. When I received the replacement two weeks later there was sand falling out of the ports. To be on the safe side I had my engine builder go through the heads. Three of the valves did not hold pressure. So I was hit with a bill for a valve job. A week later I get my motor in and begin to bolt down the lower intake. Heli-coil ripped out of the head with ease. Called down there to resolve the issues and the owner said there was nothing he could do. He suggested that I return my freshly machined heads that I just spent a extra 300 bucks on for a full refund. Save yourself the hassle and buy somewhere else.
Do u rebuild a 455 motor for a 69 lasabre?
Purchased a cylinder head online from these guys. It was not what was described and getting my money back was very hard. They kept shipping and took a little extra for themselves that we did not agree on. Now i have to dispute this with my bank and go through a really big pain. Honestly wish i would have just bought from somewhere else. There are plenty of other shops to chose from. I should have paid attention to these reviews.Update: He charged me for refusing the package and said UPS charges 55$ to refuse. Thats a lie. their website says the max is 10$ its right on UPSs website. I wont do business here ever again. I suggest you REALLY pay attention to these reviews. including the one where he gave himself a 5 star review in a response to get his rating higher.
Great place! Awesome service
Great Service And Machine Work Is One Of The Best !
Hey Nico you did not have your engine tuned. We worked with you what we could, but not breaking it in correctly and not having it tuned before taking it down the track 3 times is not good. We worked with you and saved what we could after you overboosted it. So than when you first dropped the engine back off and you told be you had 3 passes at the track in Joliet you were lying or are you lying now? There are posts on your Facebook page with you saying that you have over 800 miles on it without having it tuned. I have those pictures so again who is lying?
I would give a negative star if i could, horrible service, and sent junk parts and didnt want to stand behind there service. They just lost three customers in one sale!!!!!
I would not recommend this place to anyone. Bad service, not helpful. Taking them to court.
I have all 2 videos of it getting tuned before it blew and never did it see a track. To say I “overboosted” at 14lbs when you specifically said 20 would be okay is beyond me.
Fair prices and great service!!!
Good engine builders
Good drinks
