I have had positive experiences with C-N and so have many of my customers
who do engine conversions with us. Currently we are working on a 2.0L Audi
80 "3A" install for a customer and we had C-N supply the engine for us.
When the engine arrived is was packaged on an over sized pallet and all the
miscellaneous parts will neatly packaged in a separate cardboard box. Upon
inspection of the contents of the engine and box, I noticed some parts were
missing (not packed with the shipment). We contacted C-N and told them what
parts we were missing - without hesitation they UPSed us the missing parts
at their expense. Now that all the parts are here I am more than happy with
their service. Several of my customers have said the same thing about
them - if something is amiss, they try their best to correct it.
I am sure that C-N has had their bad days, I know I have had a few, just
like every other vendor out there.
Just adding my two cents worth here and passing on my personal experiences
about them. Not an endorsement or slam of their services or products, your
mileage may vary and all the other usual disclaimers apply.

Don't buy from Campbell Nelson they will rip you off. I bought an engine
from them about 1 1/2 years ago. The supposidely NEW engine was damaged in
about two dozen spots and the crate it was in was too small for the engine.
The top of the crate was cardboard! Parts of the engine were sticking out
of the crate and hit other things. I strongly recommend that list members
not even consider these guys.
