More details and less generalisms would help. thanks

We were told that the replacement motor would arrive complete and tested. The replacement "crate motor" arrived incomplete and untested, and with used and or damaged parts. There were missmatched and missing fasteners throughout. We had to take off or swap out valve covers, carburator, turkey pan, starter, distributor, fuel lines, oill and coolant fittings, water pump. The original motor was installed by Unique in a gloss painted engine compartment that was perfectly detailed. Pulling and replacing a 427 without damage in a cobra is a chore. The headers were custom built for the first block and do not now fit the replacement motor.
