I just ran across this thread after searching Google for another way to contact Bret Bowers. I ordered my 540 in Jan. last year and was told that it would be only a few weeks..sounded great!!! Well almost 3 months later and several angry calls left for him, I caught him off guard by using an out of state number that was new to him. After several minutes of excuses he promised it would be out in the next few days. Well, finally 2 weeks later it did show. It wasn't the color block we agreed on having it painted, then I started wondering if it was even a 540. Well, thank god this time I did get ahold of him from my home phone number, and he explained that he must have shipped my motor to someone else and I had theirs..and they were the exact same 540 and i already had the dyno sheets for the wrong one? Well, I don't know if thats true or not, or he just flubbed up on the paint color in the first place? Anyway the engine is a beast, and I guess I ought to thank god for atleast getting it. The reason I have been trying to contact him is for the engine specs that were not sent with the motor in the first place? If it were not for Bowers RJ ad I would have bought something local and missed all the headaches.
One last thing. I have purchased twice from RJ postings and the first transaction was no better. BEWARE of member RAZOR540.<<<I bought the rolling chassis that recieved the better late than never Bowers engine. After traveling several hours to pick up the car, I get there to find out the title is in someone else name a few states away? <<Took forever to get this straightened out! Then, after getting it home and up and running the wheels were so bent he had to have know if he just got done racing it last season. Not to mention the brand new just freshened tranny wouldnt even move...clutches were toasted so had to have it freshened beforeI even got the new surprised of bent wheels. <<There is more but I'm tired of typing..Stay away from BOWERS and RAZOR540!!!
