I bought a 408 from SA a few months back. Bill and Susan were very helpful in getting the motor that I wanted delivered to me within a few days of ordering.
On start-up there was a substantial
oil leak. I'm 13 hours away from SA and Bill offered to come and get the car, take it back to his shop, repair it and deliver the car back to me. I had a class in Atlanta to go to so we worked something out to get the car to them.
I wanted the car ready for the Reptile Roundup and there was not enough time to get the
oil leak taken care of before the event. Bill said go ahead and run it just keep tabs on the
oil level. Headed down I75 between Gainesville and Ocala the car died. The distributor advance mechanisim blew apart. This froze up the distributor and sheared the pin. Fortunaly Randy Hunter had an SA windsor motor in his shop and let me take the distributor and I was back on the road.
If I had it to do over again, I would still have bought the engine from SA. They stood behind thier work. The even cleaned the oil from the bottem of the car.
The engine now has over 13k mile on it and has been spectacular. I can't imagine a better motor for a Cobra. Great power, very streetable and sounds wonderful.
