yes i was just searching the web and i saw that you were having trouble with mcallisters and i had a 4.6 motor built from him and it took forever to get it from him and i finally did and the motor only lasted a year and a head cracked on it and the bearings were washed away in it if i would of not tore the motor apart when i did then i would have wasted the motor and 10000 dollars down the drain i feel you guys and sorry to hear that. hope you have good luck and getting what you need done.

Oh wow.... That doesn't sound good at all. I'd ask for a refund.

Contact these jerks and ask them what company are they using for shipping your engine. If they tell you, then contact the shipping company to see if they have made any shipping arrangements. If they won't tell you which company or the shippers don't know anything, ask for a refund.

If they refuse a refund and can't/won't give you any proof that the engine even exists, this may be considered fraud. You may want to contact the U.S. Embassy about this international matter. There may be some help from the Feds about this. You may be surprised to find that some kind of trade treaty violations may exist.

I also bought a stroker 4.6 from those guys. They have went out of buisness now. It took a year to get my motor and the only reason that I got it then was because I drove up there (750 miles) four times. The motor ran great for about 6 months then the problems started. MV Performance in statham georgia is now fixing the mess. I have no clue what that is going to cost me. I can tell you guys some personal info about the owner, maybe it will help you contact them. But do not hold your breath. These guys are always broke and spending everyones build money on their bills.

i feel sorry for you guys. he owes me over 15,000 dollars. his home address is 329 james ave. waynesboro va. 22980. his cell # is 540 569 0440. he probably will not answer out of the area numbers. his home # is 540 943 2183, but he probably will not answer that either. his nextel direct connect # is 187 102 32923. the shop # is 540 943 7679.i suggest anyone who he owes money get a lawyer, and if he offers you a check DO NOT TAKE IT.by the way there are no brothers to it, it is only Tracy Wayne McAllister.

Here is my story with McCallister. I think I may be the last customer they did honest business with. I went to a reputable speed shop in New York (June of 2006) to get my performance work done. They specialize in Corvettes but they'll do any muscle car. They worked with McCallister and put a deal together for me which consisted of an engine (custom built) with a ATI D1SC blower, inter-cooler, Tremec TKO transmission and various other parts. By November of 2006 a bulk of the parts came. I think the Supercharger was missing some small parts that had to be ordered from ATI but thats it. Once they get everything together and try to tune the car they have all types of problems. After tearing the engine apart, they find out an intake valve snapped in half and landed on top of one of the pistons.

Luckily for me I'm dealing with a reputable builder. They fought with McCallister for close to a year to take this engine back or exchange it but to no avail. They've now sent the engine to a machine shop that specializes in Ford modular engines and they are tearing the engine down, going through it with a fine tooth comb, and rebuilding it to no expense to me. From reading these horror stories I feel Blessed. Granted the process is going into its second year I'm willing to wait. I'm just hoping once they get this thing together it last more than a year. I should have the car back by late May early June. I'll let you know what happens. Below is a pic of the damage and a link to the build-up: Corvette Tech - Cars For Sale

Default TRacy Scammed me too

I'm also a MBR victim. I haven't been able to reach him most of this year. I used to get Chris on the phone, but now he's let go of Chris. So I get no one. He owes me about 3 thousand dollars, since he never delivered the EFI system on the 03-04 cobra motor I ordered. No I hear about the fine quality of work you guys are describing, I'm afraid to even fire it. He kept promising he'd send it, and now poof. Disappeared. Wanna team up and bring him to justice?

Thanks

Mark

Default What's right is right.

I've talked to a few of you now about Tracy Mcallister's business practices, or lack thereof. It seems I'm a bit better off than most, but what's right is right. We all paid for one thing and were given junk, or for some of you nothing at all. The number of us shows that this is business as usual for MBR, not a mistake, misunderstanding, or a fluke. There is intent to defraud. I'm no attorney, but I'm married to one. While not directly her field, it seems there's a civil side (lawsuit) and a criminal side (fraud, both interstate and international) Tracy would have to deal with. There would be an attorney involved for getting our money back, and a district attorney of the State of Virginia for the criminal aspect. After all, if your stories are accurate and verifiable he's taken at least $40,000 by fraud operating out of Virginia. He needs to be stopped. If he's reopened shop as this site describes, we owe it to others and ourselves to do the right thing here before any 2008 victims start telling their stories.

Being that I'm an American on temporary assignment in Europe it would be easier to have someone local act as the liaison for our group and find a local attorney. I don't care that my loses are smaller than most of yours, I will match those here who would gain more from the suit in attorney fees. What's right is right.
