Angola is not that big of a town, I gotta think every car guy around knows this guy is a scammer.
Ebay has as much credibility as Greg. I mean why would you let someone like this get an account again?
Answer?
$$$$$
Money - what everyone will stand up and pledge allegiance to these days

You can see the same pic in both sellers ads. He has had many Ebay seller names. He is getting much better at how he words his ads to keep himself out of jail.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but I am in the process of trying to find a motor for my Camaro and came across an ad for a BB on ebay posted by the above-mentioned seller. Does anyone have a current information on the guy. After reading this I am not sure that he can be trusted but the thread really does not give specifics Any info appreciated Thanks

He still operates out of Angola Indiana, and his name is Greg Long. What more do you need to know?

I was just wondering why he can"t be trusted? The thread does not really give reasons.

Thanks I was going to purchase a 427 engine from him He had told me he could restamp it but I was not going to do that I would not try to pass my car off as matching numbers when it is not. He claims it is a total rebuild and ready to go but I guess I will pass after finding this thread
