Al Allen is a crook. Do a search on his business, Datsun parts LLC on any Z car or Datsun/Nissan website, including this one, and you'll get tired of reading the complaints.

Listen to this noisy N42 on "another happy customers" car.

Another one I came across.  Who knows?  But they don't have a physical address so still sketchy.  I sent an e-mail asking for a quote.

A Google search came up 2 addresses:  the first was from a complaint filed on Ripoff Report.com back in mid 2012 - ATK North America/Gearhead Engines, 1102 W. North Carrier Pkwy Suite 100, Grand Prarie, TX 75050-1115. 

 

The second was from the TrustLInk.org website, with 2 out of 4 repondents filing complaints (the other 2were positive). The business location in those reports was here in Orange County, CA:  Gearhead Engines, Inc., 23191 La Cadena Drive Suite 103. Laguna Hills, CA 92656.

 

The search also showed that this company apparently sells most or all brands of engines - Ford, Chevy, Mazda, etc.

 

Admittedy, 5 reports is a very small sample size, but with 3 out of 5 reports being negative, I don't think I'd buy from them even though Laguna Hills is only a few miles away from me.

 

If and when you do hear back, please do post up.

Im curious what you find out on this one Zed Head.  If they even call you.
