Boy, I don't know. I see they take PayPal so you may not loose your money. On the other hand, I don't think $68 is too much to risk to see exactly what these are.

Yes, it's tempting.......until you really think about it and then do a background check of the company.
Will any Fordbarner take a chance?
It's a scam.

In risking your $68, you label yourself an easy Mark.

Just for yucks, there's this.... When I built that sort of ford looking jalopy out of my old family car last year, a '79 toyota landcruiser 4 door wagon, I needed a carb for the toyota straight six. Toyota wanted 1700.00 for a 'non USA' carb and I didn't have a core to rebuild. I bought a Chinese knock off from amazon or Ebay for 67 bucks. Perfect fitment for mounting and throttle/choke. It idles perfectly, engine pulls like a mule at all rpms. During the first week the float needle hung up a couple times after shutting down but a light tap set it right again. Hasn't happened since. Been over a year and maybe 2000 miles and I have nothing but good to say about this carb. On Orcas Island 67 bucks gets you two cheeseburgers and two beers and the tip.

We all want a deal of a lifetime . . . on the same website they show a 750 CFM Holley double pumper for the same price - not a chance. And if you actually HAD them, why would you sell them for $68? If you did, you're an idiot! LOL

Here is a picture of their "building":

I see a lot of similar stuff on Facebook market place. Water pumps, valve sets, etc for what seems like 1/2 price or less. Never took the dive.

Had my wife check it out. The only way they do a deal is when you supply your credit card no. HA HA HA According to youtube They advertise crazy cheap deals then send whatever they have that's worthless

Don't bother Youtube already has the dope.
They have been labeled SCAM.!
Its not about selling at a low price it is about you letting them into your account :eek:

Allow me to twist the topic just a little bit with another question.
Does anyone know if these China made 390's are any good?
It would be interesting to disassemble one and compare part quality with a genuine Holley.

Thank you.

A friend bought some Chinese Holley 94s. The screws feel out of one of the throttle plates and went through the engine. Luckily didn't hurt anything. Checked the others and they were all loose.

That is interesting. It reminds me of set of stainless "Center-Dump" headers I bought on eBay. They were cheap and of amazingly good quality. However, the fasteners that came with them were metric. After getting the proper header bolts, everything was fine. It's like these guys complete a 90 yard pass and then fumble at the 1 yard line. I wonder if it's got more to do with the Foreign manufacture or American marketing?
