Many of our Vendors support EMPI and say the products are good, however, I personally stay away from ALL EMPI parts.

Oh no! Here comes DD's take...Almost everything I have I fab or bring it home from Pull a Part.Back in the mid 90's Scat cranks would explode and self distruct a motor. Even the oil cooler would have to be discarded for all the metal lodged up inside it.They MIGHT would give a replacement crank but who wanted it?We would have to drag the dead buggies out of the woods straining our trans and clutches.Who paid for the rebuild, the new block and clearance work, cam ,rods, bearrings,often a damaged head that was made as a pair,gasket kits, car gas to round up new stuff, shipping and tax? Back then we had NO money and kids in diapers.I LOVED a/c but HATED liar suppliers.I think the world of Tim at Southern Buggies because he gives me a straight up answer how he feels about an item.
