Exclamation Warning!!! Bad Shop near Waco: Paid for 6.0, got 4.8/5.3

http://www.quickstreettrucks.com/showthread.php?t=1034

They filed off this guys head casting #s, welded plates over the 4.8/5.3 stamps on front and back of block, but forgot about the casting number on top of the motor (12577396).

Don't know the name of the shop yet, but just letting you guys know to watch out for this kind of crap

Wouldn't you know if you got a 4.8/5.3 vs a 6.0 simply by the way it drove? I mean seriously...

Well the fact that my heads had the casting number filed off and for some reason had plates welded over the casting in the block would be reason enough for me to tell them to take it back out.
