I had my own issues with Cannibal. I'm not going to go into the whole story here since right now my engine seems to be great. I hope it lasts a long time considering the amount of money I have in it.

I'd consider Turner now that the exchange rate is what it is.
Your Truck looks great! I'm thrilled to hear that the motor is going strong.

About 10 minutes after placing my order I saw it, and I very quickly called to cancel my order. I also called my CC company, and let them know to not process a charge from them.

That's who we're looking at now, and the new LS swap kit.

That LS swap from Lucky8 is very interesting!

Next on my agenda. Front and rear diff guards (front not pictured, I was shipped the wrong item), and extended stainless steel brake lines!

I can only speak to my experience with Steve/CannibalV8, and I will say that Steve treated me very well. He was very knowledgeable and honest about the whole process. The issues we had were taken care of as quickly as possible and to my satisfaction. When I had a question or concern Steve answered the phone and was happy to talk or answer email and texts immediately. I am 100% satisfied with the product I received and can't wait to drive it across country in July to the National Rally!

There are other options out there, I mentioned one previously in this thread, and I am sure Steve himself would tell you to vet them all before making a decision. But I'll be honest here, when I suggested the other company as an option over Cannibal I was frustrated by an issue with my engine that as it turns out was caused by ME, not Steve/CannibalV8. I am sure the other companies do good work also, but I have not done business with them. I have done business with Steve at CannibalV8 and would recommend others in need of a RV8 to Steve without hesitation.

Call and talk to Steve about his process/product. He will be happy to tell you about what he does. Someone who is "local" and answers phone/text/emails personally and quickly goes a long way in my book. And he backs it up with quality work.

I have read the other opinions and stories out there and I am not posting this to initiate any type of response from others. I am posting so my personal and honest review of the product and service I received is out there. I also know of others who have had the same good experience as I did doing business with Steve.
