Sadly, I am yet another victim of this seller. I just happened to look up his name on Google, and I found this thread, so I registered so that I could find out more.

I purchased a "383 stroker" engine from this seller, turned out to be a junk engine, I have met the seller in person on two occasions, because I live near Minnesota, and he even installed it for me...that's when the trouble started.

If anyone wants to hear my story, please feel free to email me.
He sold me a junk engine (via Ebay) for $1,950.00, I have threatened legal action but from the looks of this thread, I have to stand in line with a few hundred others...at least hopefully he'll never rip off anyone else...
Thanks,

Terry M.

PS I believe this seller has operated as:

Garry Hagen
Gary Hagen
Roger Bittmer
Rodger Bittmer
Dana Dettmer

He has used these Ebay usernames to sell engines:

vanillasocial
sawgirl24
strokermotors
enginebuilders

PS By the way, I have also met his dad (I think that's who it was), he was alive in July, 2004, although Garry (or Rodger or whatever name you call him by) was taking him to get cancer treatments at a hospital in the Twin Cities (at least that's what he told me).
