New century performance

FATI · Oct 8, 2019

I am so frustrated with those guys especially Lowell,

I placed an order on May and they said by the end of July it will be done but till now he never answer my emails, I asked for an update or at least estimation but still he don't answer.

I wanted to buy heads but I thought that i might take my money and go to buy billet ls which was my second choice before i go with big block.

What to do guys in cases like this ?
Anyone went through situations similar to this one!

Thank you

That’s odd as I’ve dealt with Lowell and not had any problems. There is something with those blocks being cast in CA or something and then sent to them in IL for machining and finish work. If indeed a CA business is involved, all bets are off.

I know a good friend was going to get one of their blocks but bought a CN billet instead. After some minor delays, he did get the block.

I had a similar experience with a piston company out there who made me a wrong set of pistons and then lied to me for 4 months before totally ghosting me.

Search around on here, your in a loooooong waiting line. People getting the same run around and treatment.

Company's who do what they say. BRODIX, CN, DART, ENERGY MANUFACTURING, BAE, AJPE. New Century has issues constantly and goes into the dark this has went on for YEARS. Get your money back. I just got tired of the BS stories either give me a straight answer or say I cant do it.

I wish to get my money back, I lost my faith in the new century and I won't be comfortable even if they get it done because I can't trust anyone who treats his customers like this.

I have emailed Lowell and also on his private Facebook account but as usual no one is answering.

That doesn't help at this point.

You need someone to make a visit and use a little persuasion. A private detective local to the shop. JMO.

No. Really like the product but heard/read way to many horror stories. Hoping you guys get your blocks.

Any one have any information about the new century performance ?
Couldn't reach them and the general attorney office advised me to take it to the small claim court.

sorry to hear that. I was looking for a set of their BBC valve covers w/ spring squirters. Made me sound like i was a nuisance for "only" ordering a $500 set of valve covers and couldnt provide a delivery date. Went with Dan Olson and had a set in a couple weeks. Hopfully you see your depsoit back one day

When buying a New Century Block you must understand that he does his best and I waited month after month and realized that the way the whole thing goes it could be a year and it was it was worth the wait I can tell you that
