Car problems

Well I got a phone call today from the shop that has had my car for the last 19 days doing some work.They think they spun a main bearing. Damn & this is my birthday as well what a sucky day.

We go up & they were kind of ya know,But go get a tow dolly (had to go to 3 diff places to find one).
So we get back to Bloods & they help load up the car & we get to talking they are kewl by this time. Kind of understanding that this is my baby & that All I want is the car to get done, They were 99% done with it as well.

Then they show us this, Heres a couple other shots of the Harmonic Balancer, They fixed that.

Then they showed me the start of the dyno stuff they were doing. Max power as of Yesterday:
201.7 @ 4500RPM (@ the rear wheels ) &
282.2 @ 3000RPM

Oh well the rip apart has started now we just have to fig out how to rebuild it lol , NO time like the present to learn huh????

Re: Car problems

Nope not stroking the motor but new cam is a poss. the whole engine is going to be rebuilt & resealed Now instead of in 2years like org planned.

This is NOT what I wanted for my birthday I only wanted my car back & me driving it home not towing it.

Oh a friend is trading me some LT1 Connecting rods, Pistons (350) & a TPI Crankshaft for a sound system.

Re: Car problems

I liked the cam that www.hitechmotorsport.com sold me for my 383. Maybe they can sell you one that works well with your setup too?
