I saw you basically took you whole car apart and redid a lot of it, Lol. Thats awesome, I think you love this as much as I do.[/ QUOTE]
There are plenty of those guys out there willing to take your money. I like working with Kenny as he’s honest about his billing and does a nice job.
The original goal with my car was to build it in three / four phases. Then I got sick and we did just enough to get it a nice running driving cruise night car. We fought motor issues and after 4 years and thousands of dollars I said F-It and yanked the motor. That’s kinda when the “While Your Here” moment happened. So version 2.0 began.
Then Covid so I then decided to add version 3.0 into the build since it’s not like we can actually do anything.
And that’s how I’m where I am at and yes I had to pay to have my motor completely redone. Looking back it will be Crate Engines from GM ONLY as they come with an actual warranty.

Thats funny, I had to redo a bunch of stuff on my motor too. I originally bought my motor from Frank Serafine. He did a cam swap for me. Before putting the motor in the car I had it broken in on the dyno at an engine shop I deal with. I was mostly worried about how long it sat in my garage. As soon as it started up something went wrong, it was a while ago but I think a pushrod bent and something about oil pressure was way to high. Either way it was a brand new motor and it went from a simple break-in to a bunch of new parts. Lol
Either way, your car is looking awesome, and I’m sure when your done it’ll be that much better too. I think as long as we’re enjoying ourselves its worth it. If we can afford to do it and not go into debt, all good! The whole sourcing of parts and engineering of these cars is so rewarding. I’m hooked 😁
