i may look into that...but will say i approached MTI (did one of the motors)and they're so far past LTX they couldn't hang up the phone fast enough. I wonder if LPE is the same. Inundated with LSX stuff.Quote:

If you've followed Hot Rod's drag week you've probably heard of him. His name is Todd Maschmeier, he owns Maschmeier Performance Enginering. His number is 816-six eight two-6946. Just let him know Josh told you to call, or his SN is 89cig on yellowbullet.
hey thanks...i've just assumed my block was fine but nice to have a plan!Quote:

LOL 30k, post the number after you've owned 10 more years. These things are an addiction, and this addiction love money.Quote:

Now its resting in my basement doing nothing! The car will live again. I plan on holding on to it forever and do whatever it takes. An LT1 without an opti or chip is everything i want!Quote:
