Business ProfileforDon Hardy Fuel Efficient Engines

BBB First, I would like to say that I have attempted to call and email DH several times to resolve this amicably and have exhaust all resources. I Purchased an engine from *** ***** that was supposed to be a high horsepower LT 427 built engine((completed 6/29/2021)). This motor was put in at Bad Chad Performance in Huffman Texas, the motor from day one had issues and never ran correctly. ****** reached out to *** who stated he did not believe it was the motor))Perspective, the motor would not even make it a few miles away from the shop without having issues. We finally got the car to a point to where we thought it was ok, however once a small amount of throttle was applied the motor started having issues again. After several teardowns at bad chat and attempting to find "other" problems we finally sent the motor back after fighting with it for around six months. ((1/31/22)) At first ****** told me issues was caused by a set of head gaskets we attempted to use, which are used by several big name shops on sleeved LT4 motors with zero issues. Then it turned out the cylinder walls were "egg'd" - this cylinder block was NOT supplied by me, this was supplied by *** *****. And then over the phone I was also told "tuning" ((I assume I've been looped into another issue that happen at Bad Chad however I've explained I do NOT use the tuner Bad Chad uses)) and secondly the car would never run well enough to get to that point. This isn't my first engine build I've had issues with bad tuners, and I had these conversations with the tuner NOT the engine builder. ****** quit responding to me via email, and at this point he will not respond to me to even give me an accurate list of parts (pistons/rods/crankshaft) and specs on the motor he charged me to rebuild. I've spent a total of around $8040 for the initial build that never ran ((basically a paperweight)), and $3759 to fix something that never properly ran correctly for a total of 12,015$
