    Sorry, I can’t recall the main guys name but I pretty much talked to everyone while I checked out their shop.

    $450 plus another hundred for oversizing the exhaust valves and installing all my new stainless stuff and HD springs.

    No porting.

    I forgot to add the spacers behind the cam gears and drove it all the way to Rockford, Dyno tuned, and running around doing errands all in one day. I got two miles from home when the intake cam locked up solid.. I forced it home shooting raw fuel out the drivers tail pipe, tore it down the next morning, and took it back to them with five bent valves.

    He charged me $10 for lunch and had it ready in 30 minutes! I drove it to the Louisville meet a day and a half later.

    You can’t get better service than that!
    He’ll probably remember my car. He said it sounded like war when I brought it by after it was fixed.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

    I went with Coil racing engines in McHenry.
    Steve Coil has been doing race motors for
    Over 30 years in the same town.
    He and his shop have a wonderful reputation and I would go to him again.
    He prolly still has my head's on the shelf
    Somewhere.
    I shoot give him a call !
