Beats me. The guy claims to be a machinist that's been doing it a couple decades and it seems like he's doing it out of his garage or something. He also seems to be saving a bit of cash by doing things like using 2 bolt mains blocks and charging a fee hundred more for a 4 bolt. He's got all positive feedback though, so maybe he really does build a good motor.

It looks like he's putting together the cheapest 383 he can out the back of his garage. Looks like the Aluminum 1.5 RR's are proform, lord knows what valvesprings he used.

I watch Over Haulin a lot, and it seems he usually has two ideas:

1) two-tone paint job, big flashy wheels, no emblems
2) somewhat stock looking, big flashy wheels based on the stock wheels, no emblems.

I really like their work, but I'd be pissed if I had a Camaro and they two-toned it other than the way GM did and if they took off the emblems. I'd probably like it if he redesigned salad shooters at 17 or 18 inch size though...

yeah if he overhauled my car I'd sell the wheels right off and buy a s/c with the $. I'd like to see what he'd do for paint tho, good looking two tone 4th gens are usually an oxymoron.

I saw that car about 3 months ago on eBay. Im surprised it didn't sell. S7's are one of my favorite supercars.

The only thing I dislike is the claim it's real all over the car. it should say something like Saleen Corvette or Corvette S7 instead of Saleen S7.

It's a long list...

Shocks/springs (Strano?)
Forged 17x9, 17x11 wheels
Big-inch LS motor (I'm looking for an easy 500rwhp with as much low-end torque as I can find, 414ci minimum. C5R block and L92-style heads preferred.)
C5Z gearset for my T56 (lower ratios in 1st-3rd).
New clutch. McLeod Street Twin?
Tubular K-member (road race version)
Kooks / QTP longtube headers and catted Y pipe
Strange S60
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires
C5Z front brake conversion
Complete stereo overhaul, hoping to find something that integrates the steering wheel controls
HPTuners
5pt harness.
Nice seats -- Sparco or Recaro, I think. Something to accommodate the harness.

I think there's more on my list, but I can't remember right now.

Right now, I'd settle for enough spare time to install the stainless steel brake line kit I got for Christmas.
