Hey Randy,

I had the car fixed with a few additional mods....while he was in the motor he opened up the bottom end and found that the stock stuff is wearing out.......Also found out the block has been done .060 over bore, so if anything happens the block is trash!! I didn't have any idea about that one! So I'm kind of preparing just in case the worst case scenario happens....Rather be proactive than reactive.....I had everthing replaced on the top side of the motor....heads, cam, timing chain, had a crack in the driver side header, intake, Throttle body......then I find out the bottom end is weak...........Go figure!!!!! If find anything let me know, and I can see what I can do.....

Thanks Randy

Short Block

I know of a local shop that has a complete engine for sale. This is brand new with intake, T.B., heads, cam, sensors, stock fuel injectors, rail, exhaust headers etc. It has never been fired up and completely stock from the factory. If you would like, I can get a price for you.
