Any experience with this company?

Unless it comes with a cluster it’s miles unknown, condition unknown. I’ve been down this path, a motor on a pallet is an unknown regardless of what a seller tells you. I had one “low miles JDM engine” turned out had oversized bearings in it. Had another with a cracked valve seat and scored bearings. Unless you blew a hole in your block you might be better off rebuilding what you have. Also with the age and availability of these engines I’d take a US market car that you can see “was running when it hit” over an engine with an unverifiable history.
