How do you like or how was the service with that shipping company? Are you selling those stock cats by any chance?

hehe sorry the cats aren't for sale, since im going to make it "smog legal" (whatever that means ). the shipping company was amazing, the engine was shipped through two companies since it originated in mississippi. first it was Southeastern Freight Lines then in Dallas, TX, it was handed to Oak Harbor Freight Lines. it was shipped last Thursday and got here today at exactly 1:06pm the guy that i bought it off of was REAL reliable and trustworthy, i got it off of ebay. his feedback score was like 730+ and his % was 100%, i thought that was pretty amazing and i did find out why his feedback was amazing. he's a great guy, if anyone ever needs an LS1, contact Lynn on ebay, his username is "ls1_z28" amazing guy.
