Shop in Grove Point Ohio

[Sleeper-6]

I'm looking into buying an 87 GN who's owner has that has had all his work done at a shop in Grove Point Ohio. Does anyone know the place I'm talking about? If so, what is the name of the place and what kind work do they do? I'm just doing a little resurch. Thanks in advance.

Most likely it's Lee Howie at Lee Howie Automotive. He put a new motor in my tr 7 years ago - does nice work. Haven't spoken to him in a few years; hope he's still doing okay.

Yes. He sold it, now has a twin turbo C4 Corvette.

Charles, I know that shop now, I just didn't know where Lee's shop was located. Yes, he knows what he's doing.

many of you have seen the corvette at the Nats before it belonged too randy eakins. If I recall the tape it ran in the 7.90's. Howie I know has been 7.70's at least if not faster with it so far

My friend Nick Patlovich used to own it. He sold it to some dumbass, I bought it off the dumbass. It was in sad shape when I bought it, it's getting back to where it should be.

Cool, maybe I'll see you at the track sometime.

I might be taking it to Dragway 42 or Larue this weekend... we'll see.

Yeah Lee built the motor in my car, very nice work indeed. Another satisfied customer

Thanks guys, the guy has no records of what work was done. He claims is that all the work was done there. I'll give them a call, and hope maybe by some miracle they can fill me in on exactly what was done. The car was nice enough and ran well, So I'm going to get it anyway, but i'm still curious as to what's going roundy round inside this engine. Thanks again..
