Another Satisfied Customer

       I want to thank all of you, Steve ,Paul and Doug, for your support and technical knowledge. The engine is more than I expected. Man what a beast! The guy that helped with the work on the car has 25 years of racing and building engines. For not being a blown engine, he said it's definitely insane! He drove the car and said it is unreal! He also said it is an excellent example of people knowing what they are doing. Thanks to all at Pro-Formance Umlimited.

I can't thank you folks enough. I will recommend your company to all.
Here are a couple of pictures. A video is to follow soon.

Hey Paul, Doug, Steve!

 

    It’s me Mike Jones! Remember I came from Italy and visited you guys and you built the engine for my mustang! Well it’s been two years of super fun and I lost NO RACES!!!!!!! NONE! Well after 2 years I sold the car to my friend Kurt and he will be moving to Pennsylvania. I told him he must come visit you guys and the shop!  I believe in the quality ENGINES YOU GUYS BUILD! That motor is still rock solid and running like new! I still owe you guys some wine and I’m going to send it! Thanks for being so honest and building me a high quality motor!  

 

Very Satisfied Customer!

This goes out to Doug, Paul and Steve

I completed the install on my 67 Camaro took it down the road just the other day and holly crap it is awesome it looks awesome the Pro-Formance of this thing is over the top. I can not say enough about how this thing performs and the look dead on perfect. If your needing a motor these guys from Jersey my home boyzzz will hooked it up. They sent me this 350 375hp turn-key gem the power is unbelievable it has exactly the throttle response I asked for the horse power dead on perfect guys thanks a ton for building the great motor.

Hi pro guys,

Just dropping you a note and a few pictures of my BEAST!! She looks great in the engine bay. You guy's are everything you advertise and I am glad I found your website. I am chomping at the bit to get out and chew some ass on the road. Proformance unlimited is confident in their product, and they provide the power they preach. Keep up the great work guy's. P.S. Looking for a 56 F-100, and going to stuff it with a little old motor from the boy's in Jersey.

Steve,

I wanted to drop you a line and tell you thanks for all the help you and your team have been in helping me select my engine and various other parts, but more importantly, how well this engine performs. This power plant has totally transformed my sluggish Bronco into a muscle truck that has caught more than one unsuspecting hotrod by surprise. It’s backed by a built C-4 auto with Hurst shifter, and a 3500 stall from Transmission Specialties, Out back is a nine inch with a Detroit locker, and 31 spline chromoly shafts. The interior was recently treated to a new dash with pieces from Auto Meter and So Cal Speed Shop, and the transfer case is shifted by a modified piece from Lokar. Suspension includes all new springs, bushings, brake lines, and drive shafts by Wild Horses.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I have gladly recommended Pro Formance to several people with projects on the books.

Hi Doug, Steve.
Well the motor is just fine.
In fact it is rather scary at full blast.

And takes me to 110 Mph in 2nd and 3rd to 160 Mph......as for 4th and 5th, are you kidding me?
I have got no where near that yet.
I am really getting into these Edelbrock Thunder Series carbs now.
I got wrong footed at first, by Edelbrock of all people. I must have got the Janitor who was holding the phones that morning for the Tech guys....Jeeeeez!

Anyhoo, the upshot is that after MUCH futsing about I am running the carbs as the standard setting, but 4% LEANER on the metering rods. The difference is amazing. The engine really barks and is super crisp.
Also I run the second WEAKEST power valve spring, forget the color now.
Another thing. The float levels are quite fussy. As the carbs come they work fine when the car is still, but they need to be at their MAXIMUM fuel level in the float bowl settings to not have the car cut out in a 90 degree turn or on a long sweeping curve.

I run a 2,1/2" diameter straight through exhaust system. This was the biggest that I could squeeze into the frame. It is bloody loud! But makes me grin. Like I imagine sex with a 18 year old girl would, hey ho, those where the days. Anyway it probably costs me less than the 18 year old.
I have almost got rid of my very low speed very light throttle demand drive line "shunting", at about 30 Mph.
Which is a royal pain in the arse.


I have also ordered the MSD knock sensor. I have used this in the past to good effect.
I think that I can dial in some more start advance and run it leaner too.

I have attached some photos here.
Please let me know if you can open them.
I will get a video done.
Of course the weather here is crap, as usual, and I am moving home, so not sure when that will happen.

Hope that all is well with you guys.
Of course I now want this motor, but with the Aluminum block.
I blame Steve here. He should have pushed me into a corner and made me buy
one!

Regards,
Rich.

Doug, Steve, and Paul

I want to thank you for a great engine. I purchased a 347/425 in March for my Factory Five Cobra coupe. It was delivered on time and just a beautiful hunk to look at. After coupling it to the Tremec TKO 600 that you provided it was ready for the 1st. fire up on July 4th. It fired right up and put a big smile on my face. I was going to finish the car before I drove it but I couldn’t stand it. I put over 3500 miles on it this summer and fall with no problems except the coil died. The engine performs much better now with 3500 miles on it then when new. Temperatures and oil pressure are right on. I have all winter to do body work and paint; I’ll send photos when done. I did two track events, the second at NHIS 3 days ago----WOW

Thanks Again,

Steve and Paul-
I want to thank all of you at Pro-Formance Unlimited for Building this beautiful engine for me. When we got it to our garage, we opened the crate and WOW the chrome shined so bright from the sun shining on it. I had to go in and get my darkest sunglasses and put them on so I could admire the excellent craftsmanship put into this engine.

Everything is so professionally assembled, I believe you folks out done yourselves on this one. It’s nice to know that when you tell someone how you want and engine built that it can actually be done, with no questions asked.

We have a saying down here in Florida…..Find someone to build it, then find someone to finish it.Also I want to thank the both of you for all the technical support you have given me.Several of my friends have stopped by and are amazed how well this engine is built All they can say is git er in and git er fired up. I love to tell people where this engine was built.

Pictures of it going into my vehicle will follow and also pictures of the original engine coming out. And I will send a video of the first road test.

Thanks again

Holy F***ING COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's INSANE, with a full exhaust system on it, it sounds like a dragster and the tick over is to die for.
It's won the biggest look at me factory the moment it starts up.

I haven't had the "balls" yet to drive it.
I think that a LOT more SERIOUS chassis checking is required before I drive this on the street.

So far 100% SATISFACTION guys.

Many, many thanks to Doug and to Steve and anyone else involved with this motor build.
My friends, who are pretty hard engine builders in their own ways, are open mouthed at this motor.

I will get a video made and send to you.
The link you sent to me with it running, good at that is, does NOT do your work justice.
If this runs like it sounds it will be sensational!
And I believe that it will.
It picks up revs as fast as a two stroke motorcycle engine.

I have had some serious small block Chevrolet motors built.........but this............this is in another league.

Talk to you guys soon.

Bets regards to you all guys.
Rich, England

A VERY HAPPY customer.

Well, Steve sorry it took so long to get with you on the first stage of our installation of the Great Create 383 you guys built for my 34 Ford. It arrived in the afternoon by UPS and we unloaded it, the UPS man and pushed it into my garage. It was like someone spread female hormones in the neighborhood, before I knew it all the men in the area picked up the scent and were drawn to my garage. First it was the UPS man refusing to leave until I opened the box, then there were 8 guys standing around waiting for me to take the cover off. I suddenly sprung to my tool box for a box knife but before I got back all my friends had popped the box top and were all standing around with a Woodie ""Cheap Male Viagra" It was a site to behold" we all stood around this beautiful motor with beer in hand and wearing sun glasses because the reflection from the motor caused extensive glare, a guy can never have to much chrome or horse power you know, we all conversed about how it will look and what I should do to the "34". You guys built one hell of a motor cant wait to get it into the car and fire that Baby up for its first run, stay tuned for the next episode, when the motor goes in and the pictures begin. In the mean time I'm going to throw a chain around it and wear it around my neck " Man Bling" PS. Steve I talked to a friend of mine Mark Archer of Camas Wa. About you and he also ordered a 350 for his ''74 Vet. Still can’t believe the great job you guys did and what a work of art

Thanks Much Harrison Roberts

Steve & Crew

     Just wanted to drop you guys a line and a HUGE THANK YOU on my 350/420hp motor. This 1966 Chevelle super sport was a 10 second street/strip car. It was my brothers car, then he passed away at age 44, when he died, so did the 472 cu. in. race motor.

     My goal was to put the car back on the street and just have fun with it. So I turned to Proformance Unlimited for a turnkey crate motor. All I can say is "WOW". This motor is so strong! It's a pleasure to drive on the street. With Hooker 1 5/8" Super Comp headers and a full 3" Flowmaster exhaust, it still sounds and feels like a big block, With BFG drag radials, 0-100 MPH is a blast. Second car show, took home a trophy!

Thanks Proformance Unlimited

Doug, Steve, and Paul

After almost a year of showing the GTO around the state I just had to let you guys know that this beast is still purring away and growling at the challengers. A lot has been done to my car since the install, like a Tremec 5 speed and a Dana 60 form strange engineering. I recently picked up the car from the body shop where 4 coats of Inferno Red Crystal Pearl where added. Every show I go to put the plaque out in front to display the goods and every show I go to they all comment on how clean the engine looks and mean it sounds. I guess I've put on about 8k Miles since I installed it and it still has that get out of my way sound! Once again I can't thank you enough for making my dream come true. If you guys ever decide to come west. Call me

Hello Steve,


My name is mike and I own a 1966 2+2 K code mustang. I order a 302, 380 hp for my car. It was the best thing I could do for my car ------ it made it come alive. The motor was a perfect fit for my car.
Let me put it this way when I first got the motor in the car and running, my wife and I went for a ride and she told me it gave her anxiety attacks because of the power the motor gave the car. It may sound mean but I had a good laugh about it. Now she has no problems when she rides in it. She loves it as much as I do. I receive many complements on the motor that PROFORMANCS UNLIMITED built for me AND OF CORSE THE CAR. Great job guys.. Thank you guys again for all your help. It is not if, but when I get my next project I will buy another motor from you people. I would recommend to buy a motor from PROFORMANCS UNLIMITED they are very good in how they take care of there customers and how they build motors...

Thank you again
Happy Motoring

Proformance Unlimited,

     I want to take a few minutes and thank everyone at Proformance Unlimited for their professional dedication on the 350 440HP "high roller" engine that was so skillfully assembled for my 68' Camaro. after getting the engine compartment all ready I dropped the "roller" in and it fired up on the first crank!

     I really appreciate the staff taking my calls on the questions I have had along the way. I can't wait until spring time so I can get it out and really enjoy the massive horsepower this engine is cranking out. My first small run showed me the potential this car can have; it sure was a major upgrade on the engine that was running in the car before.

     Again my many thanks to the entire team, what a great job!!

Hello fellows at Proformance Unlimited!

Last year, I took my 68' Camaro apart, Replacing about 90% of the interior and had a body shop repaint and repair anything on the body that had any defects. I repainted the car dark blue with a white nose stripe and replaced all the chrome and lights.

The 383/450 HP motor I bought from you just put the icing on the cake! The power and sound made my 68' a dream come true. The motor started up as it did on my video. It runs better each time I carry it out for a drive. No adjustments so far.

It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

  Doug and Steve,

I can’t thank you enough for building my 1970 Pontiac 400 with 10.75 to 1 compression, new Edelbrock performer rpm manifold, new Edelbrock 750 carburetor, and speed pro forged pistons. You painted it the correct Pontiac blue and it arrived beautifully put together. Thanks for taking the time to build me exactly what I wanted. The engine has worked great now for 4 years or so and has plenty of power(probably around 400hp). It even held together when I accidentally revved it to 7000 rpm a couple of times. That video of it bench revving to 7200 is unreal. I installed back in my 67 GTO and it looks fantastic. It is usually one of the best looking engines at cruise nights. I am enclosing some pics for you. Also, I can’t believe you built such a great engine with so many new parts for the low price you charged. It cost me 30% less than if I had built it in New Orleans including the shipping both ways By the way, I might be ready to take another step for even more power. What would suggest next? I could send you the heads for porting and swap the cam for something more radical. The current cam is an angle with about 228 and a low lift of .49. It is pretty tame and I would like something with more of a lope. It is strictly a street cruiser, so I don’t want to sacrifice too much drivability. Could you stroke this engine out for more cubes than the current 412? Or would you suggest I get a 455 block and stroke this for monster torque with great drivability? If I do a 455 I will want to add a turbo at some point when I can afford it. Glad your business is doing well. I always recommend your shop to every single person I meet that needs any type of performance engine build. You are the best. No one else will ever build my engines.

Take Care,
Dan Harper

 

 

 
  Doug And Steve,

Just a few lines to let you know the motor has been installed. The motor is in creditable. Although I haven't wound it over 4200 rpm. it is smooth and responsive and has a bit of an attitude. I've matched it to a 200r4 extreme duty OD transmission, and a Chevy 12 bolt possi rear-end with 4.10 gears (3000 rpm=78 mph) added a 4 row desert-cooler radiator temp runs 176 to 180 on the highway 190 around town in traffic.

Just wanted to thank you guys for the excellent work and craftsmanship. It was well worth the wait the accolades I have received many and complimentary I'll recommend you to anybody.

Thanks Again,

  Dear Doug Steve and Paul,
                It was a pleasure meeting you guys when I picked up my engine502  600 Horse Power Chevy Crate Engine when I pulled up and saw the engine sitting there I was amazed it stopped me in my tracks I can't believe the quality and craftsmanship of the engine you guys are awesome I would recommend you in a heartbeat to anybody when I dropped the engine off at my sons work every mechanic in the shop stopped what they weredoing to look at this masterpiece they could not believe what this engine looked like they were drooling over this engine when they ask me where I bought it from I proudly said Proformance Unlimited once again I would like to thank you guys for one hell of a engine job well done when this project is done I will send the camera back to you once again great work thank you so much
Yours Truly,

  This e mail goes to all at Proformance Unlimited. I recently purchased a 461 Pontiac stoker and I want to tell you that I was absolutely overcome with the performance that this motor makes. I put the motor in my 66 GTO and fired it up. On the very first try it came to life and was an instant success. At first it sounded very much like a “Pro Stocker” but after the Police came and told me to quiet it down we hooked up the rest of the exhaust, now it sounded more like a Pro Stocker with Mufflers on!
     The care and Professionalism you showed during the building process was amazing to me. In a day and age where money talks and you walk, you guys showed me how customer service is really supposed to be. The engine runs consistent at 180 degrees with 75 lbs. Of oil pressure @ 3k rpm, the vacuum canister was a necessity due to the larger cam. I have nothing but “Rave Reviews” about this engine and I hope I can generate some bus. Your way from the shows this will be in. Once again, Thanks for the experience.

A Recent Phone Call From Joe

 
   

Hey Guys !!

What an absolute pleasure it has been working with you. The entire process of my motor build, from conception to completion, has been more than I could of hoped.

The motor runs flawlessly. I just returned from a small car show in Prairie City, Oregon. The accolades were amazing. Many of the show participants were very imprested with the sound, power and appearance of my new 350/420 for such a fair price. The engine has been a perfect compliment to my car.

I want to thank you for all you have done. As the car nears completion, it has been my great pleasure working with all of you. I wish you much success in the new year to come.

Warmest Regards,

Troy Meeder

If you are a car fan and watch the Speed Channel on Cable or Satellite you have probably seen the program "Drean Car Garage"..... and you have probably seen this fellow, Tom Hnatiw.
 
 
 
 
He was at the Walter Mitty races at Road Atlanta interviewing the Superformance Cobra Dealer that is located right across from the track.  They had a display right across from FFR's display where our car was siiitng. David [my 40 year old son] was staning overover there talking to someone and I was on my way back from the toilet - walked up and he said "This must be the elder Krueger." [or soimething like that]. I said: "Yep that's me, and that's my Blue Cobra over there with the 351 Windsor from Pro-Formance Unlimited in Ocean, NJ." He said: "Oh, yea - we just had Pro-Formance build us an engine for a project car on the show." I said "Yea - they are a great company and build engines for celebrities all over the world."  He said: "Well, here comes the cameraman - I have to get to work!"
 
The program is on at 10:00 pm tonight - but I doubt they can aire thi squick. Tonights program WILL be about Superformance and Carroll Shelby's new relationship!

Thanks!

A VERY VERY Happy Customer!

Doug and Steve,

            I just wanted to thank you guys for the great 383-510 horse power stroker you built  for my 81 pickup.  Three days after it arrived, it was in my pickup and I was roasting the tires right out of the garage. I love beating on all the mustangs and Camaro's around town off the light. It was a great relief to me to able to call Steve and ask him question during the build process. Thanks again guys and will be calling to order another engine for my next project.

Dear Doug, Steve and Paul,

Thanks for custom building my 383-475 stroker engine, and assisting me in picking out my Art Carr 350 transmission, my 3000 stall converter and March Performance serpentine belt system.

Everyone in California thought I was crazy for purchasing a custom built engine from the east coast.  To be honest, I even had doubts at times myself.   Then, Doug, Steve and Paul e-mailed me a video of my engine running.  When I heard that baby run I knew I had done the right thing.   Before I knew it my new engine was shipped.  The day it arrived was like Christmas.  The next thing I knew, that engine was in my 64 Chevelle (O BOY)!  The first time I started it up, my wife (Lorrie) looked at me and she said she has never seen a smile on my face like that before.

As for all my friends in California, well they all want to go for a spin.  (Go Figure).  My wife is now happy because she says; I’m finely out of her kitchen and back in my garage where I belong!   

Thanks again Proformance Unlimited for my own personal dragster.

     Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for everything you guys did for me and building me my motor. I really appreciate how honest you guys were throughout the whole process too. My dad and I finally got it all hooked up in my 72 Nova and the car runs like a beast! People around my neighborhood used to look at the car as a disgrace, and after all the hard work my dad and I put into it and with the help of you guys it's finally running and looking good. In return I posted many pictures of the engine and my car on the website I have it on called "car domain". I also put your link in my profile so people will know of your guys great work. I hope it helps bring you guys more business. You can check out the car on this site. Thanks Again and let me know what you guys think.   http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2080716

Now and then I INCREASE THE RPM TWO 2000,THEN 2400 ,never hit it hard, Though it was like a horse wanting to go! Hope to get it on the road very soon. The throttle response is awesome. The temp, never got above180* I enclosed a few pic's let me know what you think.

Hello Steve,

Well, it has been a couple months since we last communicated.  Just wanted you to know, I have the 347 Stroker Motor in my 69 Mustang now.  The exhaust was completed today and I was able to run the motor and hear the awesome sound of your Pro-formance Unlimited Engine.  Let me tell you... it sounds GREAT!!!!  I am still working on completing the body and paint and hopefully will have it out on the road in the next couple months.  Here are a couple pictures one of the car before I started on it and one of the motor in the engine compartment.
Thanks again for a great engine!

PS. Used a 2 1/2" exhaust with flowmaster 40's out the back of the car. Nice rumble and load when you get on it!

 
   

Dear Doug, Steve And Paul,

Just wanted to drop you a letter to let you know how much I am enjoying my car after all the hard work you guys did. Not only does the engine sound great but also performs like a champ. I have more power than i feel safe using.

I have to admit I was a little nervous when the tow truck came to pick up my 1968 Dodge polara back in January. I only knew your company through what i read and saw on your web site. I was pleasantly surprised when you called to let me know that my car had arrived safely and you did a thorough inspection to make sure that no body or paint damage occurred during transit.

As you know, I kept adding more and more work to be done to the car. First  it was the engine rebuild, then the drum to disk brake conversion, then the new gas tank and sending unit, then the headers, then the leaf springs, New rear drums and rotors, and finally stall converter and high performance transmission. You handled all my  projects with enthusiasm and professionalism. When my son and I came down to New Jersey To "visit" my car, you were fantastic. You gave us the full tour of the shop, showed us my engine and what work was already completed. You guys dropped everything and treated us like "VIP"s.

Thank you so much for your help in meeting and exceeding my expectations for my car. I highly recommend you to people I meet at Mopar Clubs and shows. Keep up the great work and I will see soon when i bring in my Z28 for work.

Sincerely,

         Dr. Timothy Rohrs

 

 
   

Hey Guys. How Have You Been?

Sorry it has taken so long to contact you but, I wanted to have some solid numbers on the stroker motor I purchased from you last year. Still haven't made it to the dnyo or the track but i can tell you this motor is awesome. I Have finally nailed down the timing and built a killer carb and can no longer get the rear wheels of my 86 Z28 to hook up. Even with all the modifications to the rear suspension and 10.5" wide drag radial the tires break loose in the first three gears of the 700r4. Waiting on my adjustable Torque arm, which should make me hook. I will contact you again when I have some numbers on the car or the motor. Either way, I just want to thank you for building such an awesome motor. This Kind Of Quality Craftsmanship, And honesty are hard to find. I'm glad I took the chance and placed my trust in you guys.

Thank You,

           Ron Maxwell

 
   

Bin a while boys, just dropping a note pictures later, is Santa come through, finally got my Biscayne and your motor together. Went to a little Halloween deal at Milan Michigan one pass closed headers stock 350 turbo transmission 3200 stall speed, 225 70 rear tires drove it up and back, 12.92 at 112mph and some change never touched the engine out of the box, nice work.

I didn't know Doug or Steve when I choose there company to build my motor, in fact, I didn't know if there even was a   

   company ,other than what I seen online, I didn't know.
          Why and the hell have a place 3,000 miles away build it when there are thousands of places here in California ?
   maybe get burned, ? this is why, I wanted something different, a motor different than all my friends, but did I have to go
  clear across the country , no I didn't but I did anyway.
       Was it worth the risk?, you tell me,  I've been smokin my tires, burnin up the hi-ways everyday, EVERYDAY! now for
 over 3 yrs., other than oil/filters and tires, I haven't had a thing to do but drive, drive, drive, that engine, I have been smilin
  and still am smilin, hell yeah, it was worth the risk California Cary  9/10/04

 
   

Hey guys this is Derek Hagner I bought a 383 Stroker (Edelbrock special) one of ten in Dec. of 03 and I'm extremely happy with it. You guys did a great job a matter of fact you have it posted under your chevy performance category, it's the one with the yellow block under main heading. Anyways I wanted to say thanks for everything, but I have a question. The engine sets in a 67 Camaro with a TH 400, 3000 stall, 1 7/8 super comp headers with 390 gearing and I'm in the 6000 to 6500 rpms and not even down the 1/8 mile, how far can I safely rev this combo? This engine was upgraded with keith black pistons and air gap intake. I've installed a digital rev limiter to protect the engine but it sure is pulling when it kicks in at 6500 rpm. If the engine can handle more revs do I need to upgrade the distributor to something that can withstand the rpms? Again the engine is awesome Doug did a great job. Thanks for all the help and hope the new shop is going smoothly.

Hey Guy's,

        On behalf of my dad and i, we would like to thank you for the outstanding motor you built for our 67 Camaro. My dad called you with many questions and you took the time to answer all of them and help us find a motor that would fit our needs. It's Hard to find honest people who will stand by their work. We have received the motor and are very happy with what we have seen. We have not installed it in the car yet, but are very confident that their will be no problems. Once again thank you very much and we will defiantly be sending you pictures of the end result.

 

Thanks,

       Chuck & Corey

 

Doug,

Everything seems to be fine engine looks great .  I Double checked everything before driving It.  I set the timing  properly and checked the fuel.  Seems to run very well.  It pulls nicely.  Haven't raced my brother in law yet but the guy who put the motor in says it pulls harder than his.  WE SHALL SEE!!!

 
Scott.

Dear Steve & Doug
 
    I wanted to thank you for the great job you did on my 351w, not only does it look fantastic it run just as good !
I'm very pleased with the service, your price quote you gave me was right on target and delivered the level of performance I was looking for. The fact that you were able to pick-up and drop off the motor with a fast turn around made it all the better experience
dealing with your company!  
 
                                                                                    Thanks Again

  Doug and Steve,

I just wanted to write a little E-mail about my engine that you built for me. I love it! It was delivered the way that we had talked about and the way that I wanted it. The service after the sale with you guys is excellent! You will have all of my engine business from now on. I'm also including a picture of my truck that the engine is in. This is my on going project but now the drive train is all done the body is all that is left. I will send you some of the installation after the snow melts from around here. Thanks again.

Doug And Steve,

I have been driving around now for about a week and I can certainly say without a doubt that you are a master craftsman. The feel of the engine is incredible, it did not respond this way when it was new. Everything is so tight and neat that I almost feel as if I am driving a new car. The workmanship and the level of detail exhibited in the rebuilding of this engine can only be described as excellent. I want to thank you for a job well done. You can be sure that Performance Unlimited will receive my highest recommendations.

Doug And Steve,

The engine looks like a work of art!!! You guys do really nice work!!! The only thing I'm not sure of is the oil pan. I can't completely tell, but is the sump in the front? If so, front lip of the pan where the bolt holes/gasket surface is. I can't really tell from the pictures, so it may actually be the same pan. If you could double check, I'd appreciate it. I don't really want to disturb your fine craftsmanship by having to change out the oil pan if it's not the right one. Besides, my oil pan has a big dent in it.

Once again, the engine looks hot!!! I absolutely can't wait to drop it in and fire it up. The hard part will be waiting a few thousand break in miles before opening up the throttle to see what that big boat is gonna do! LOL!

Thanks,

ED

 
   

Hi Doug and Steve,

        Just to let you guys know we dropped the motor in our 85 Camaro 2 weeks ago and put a set of SLP headers on it . It sounds fantastic The throttle response is right there. We're still waiting for the trany delivery. The day we fired it up most of my friends came up to our house and were very impressed with what they saw and heard. thanks for your great service (1-1/2 weeks for a complete turn-key set up). I'll send you pictures when the car is complete .

Hay Doug and Steve,

      The Motor Looks Great Better Than I Expected. I Was Very Impressed With The Fast Turn Around And Service You Guys Provided For Me. After Getting Every Thing Hooked-Up I Pumped The Gas Twice And Turned The Key And She Fired Right Up Just Like You Said It Would. The Engine Sounds Great With A Little Rumble Just Like I Asked For.

Thanks,
