Subject: Great experience and deal on AMC heads!!!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I know it's been mentioned before, but I just wanted to let everyone
know what a wonderful experience I had with Gordon Johnson and Sons
Machine (801)298-2142 in Utah (over the phone). I called them from an
old tip on the list and was very pleasantly surprised. Bentley at the
shop made numerous long distance calls to me and on my behalf to Marnal
in preperation to buy heads from them. They gave me a price of $296 per
head (fully assembled), and are having it dropshipped to me directly
from Marnal (I'll receive them tomorrow). I know the reputation AMC
heads have with valves and such, but when Bentley called Marnal they
told him that they no longer build the heads here and get them fully
assembled from Spain now (also the reason they no longer offer bare
castings), and I just can't afford an extra 200-300 dollars for fully
re-prepped new heads (call me a gambler). Anyhow this is offered less
as a price comparison as it is a wonderful example of going the extra
mile in customer service on the part of the shop. I'll let you all know
how it turns out.
