Has anyone bought a rebuild motor from this place? (entertaining if I dont rebuild)

I read about them in ford muscle & wanted to get opinions on their work? Especially their "Beast" motors.

Thanks

I have a co-worker who bought a rebuilt 289 from Diablo. It's been 5 years since and still running strong.

I'm installing a a 350 longblock in my uncles elco 4 bolt main roller rockers and crower cam. I'll let you know how it goes. Diablo motor $1800 that including the core charge of $450. So for $1400 i figure thats not bad if you have a core.
