Can you post evidence that the Utah investigator cleared you of all wrong doing?
I would have thought in a matter like this that you would have formal documentation. That should be pretty simple yes or no.
Greg
It is a long and involved story but I will say that the Utah investigator has cleared us of all wrongdoing and couldn't believe the accusations. He found it very entertaining.

The heads were delivered to the person in question, verified by pics and delivery reciept...all of which is with our lawyer.
The heads sat on our shelf for over a couple of years .
As far as selling them, we have many sets we would love to get rid of and have no need to take, lose or sell his. We would have such a considerable amount to lose over the minor profit of one set of heads, do the math. It just doesn't add up.

How many 928 GT heads can there be out there? How many do you have? Does that mean there is a whole yard full of 928 GT's missing cylinder heads in some sort of bone yard. Or maybe you can't tell the difference between GT and other 32v heads, especially modified ones.
Must be a 'HOT' item to have so many of them on the shelf for sale.
(excuse the expression 'HOT', it was aimed at the OP title - missing, lost or stolen 928 parts).

I can explain this, these are your words not mine, re-read my posts, don't worry what others say, I sent them, they didn't!
Greg
Something I find very interesting is that when the heads were delivered, they were vanilla used GT heads with corrosion craters that required welding and a had a mild port match. Now they are some ultra-rare unobtanium, never sold to the public, super SUPER secret propritary porting job done by NASA engineers pulled from their shuttle jobs, monster heads worth literally millions of dollars that would cause global destruction if they got into the wrong hands. WTF?
Maybe someone can explain that to me...

So what you are saying is that these heads are now back to being a simple set of GT heads, corroded and in need of welding up to be useable with bad guides and iffy valves at best but have some holes drilled into each one?
Greg, I have spoken with you a couple of times prior to this mess and do believe your heart is in the right place but you do have to realize that you are getting one very biased side to this story.
As far as the other parts, he got everything. We did offer him the crate, it was still here but he declined. What's the big deal about the crate anyway? We just threw it out last month. Oh, BTW, we have a couple of hundred pounds of replated parts just sitting here. Every single part we used in building the stroker was replated or new, we never got them back. So what? Are they a big deal to get in Australia?
The heads the "un-named" gentleman took off of the stroker that he screwed us out of had the same holes drilled in them, we do that mod to almost every set of heads we work on. It's not special, propritary or out of the ordinary in any way. We even PURCHASED BACK the stroker that the "un-named" gentleman took from us for free and I pray to god that the 85-86' block we used in that stroker buildup is the one out of Jack Riffle's car. We had bought it from the "un-named" gentleman along with a couple of other engines and two bins of (junk) used parts when he needed money. It came back with every single part removed that could be removed and still call it a short block. It left here with the wiring harness installed...crank, rods, pistons, block and girdle were the only things we got back from the completely built engine that left here. The heads on that engine were painted silver in case you may have a pic of them (a Phil Threshie thing...he did the block too but we threw it away. It was junk.).
It is nice to see you step back in after 20 pages and explain a little bit. Maybe you are seeing a bit more of the whole picture? There's still much more to this than meets the eye, and believe me I'm sure there's quite a bit that you haven't been told.

Greg, I can't keep up with this thread so you may already provided the answer. You have not received payment yet and you shipped the item to a different country. Did the person at least pay for the shipping and how much did it cost?

Greg, I appreciate your input to this drama. Is there any reason why you can't identify the parties? Heads were shipped to _________ and a receipt issued as I recall. The buyer of the heads was _________; when I read the posts I get a little confused about who is who in this saga.
The OP for whatever reason also chose not to name any of the parties, leading to speculation that the ultimate buyer was Dozman. Is this true? It seems that this whole thread is full of speculation and way too few facts, other than what Greg shipped.
Regards,

Photographs of the heads prior to boxing in Australia would be helpful to show the initial state.
Like this, similar in spirit to the post above ---
Please be on the lookout for these modified heads:
( picture here )
( Another view )
( and so on )
We are very good at interpreting pictures here on Rennlist.

Dave, I don't know if you are referring to the parts I sent or the parts that are associated with the stroker build. I am not talking about the stroker build, I am not discussing that at all as that would just be hearsay, BS that this thread is full of. What I am told is that he (the buyer) has not received any of the parts he bought from me. I saw pics of a set of S4 heads as stated earlier but nothing else.
From your own statements, I can not deduce what parts your company sent him from the parts that were imported from Australia. E.G. Manifold, cam covers, plated parts MAF etc. If this is not correct please say so. This is what I have been advised. The shop involved were also invited to contact me to clear this up fairly recently. I didn't hear from them.

Greg, I would love to hear what the "shop involved" has to say, it's probably a story that neither one of us has heard yet. Maybe this is where the mystical "Popeye" comes from? I wonder what story he was told? It sounds like he expected these magically ported unbelieveable heads that evolved from your used un-assembled GT heads.

well, this is awesome.
The 'tags' on this page are now "goods", "lost", "missing", "motorsport", "slc", "stolen"
so when I googe a bunch of configurations like "goods stolen by motorsport slc"
this thread pops up, just awesome
It seems this is finally unfolding bit by bit, I hope it does soon
