Has anyone bought an engine from Jaspers?

http://www.jasperengines.com/perf.htm

looking at the class II performance version of the 289.

Any other reputable engine sources would also be beneficial.

Thanks,

Thought I would drop a line to the list as I've just signed up in digest 
mode.
Quick background:

-My father owns a "Alpine 260"
-bought it in spain (lhd)
-restored it about ten years ago
-this is not a show car
-looking to put new engine in it (again).

car hasn't run for at least a year.  Out of balance 302 motor along with 
busted radiator has kept it in the garage.  Long story, but original 260 
block is not available.

Looking to put a Jasper's 302 balanced engine/flywheel combination in it 
with new clutch.  Old clutch slipped since it was put in.  Probably have 
lots of questions once that gets underway.  Just saw some info on the 
Centerforce Gold.

Unfortunately, I live 2.5 hours from my father and the car.  So, specific 
questions about the car may not be able to be answered in any efficient 
manner.  My father is not internet savvy.

Just found the Rootes Group Depot web site. I'm looking for answers here 
before letting loose on the list.
