Default Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project

Guys,

we rebuilt the motor ourselves. Stock motor rebuilds are no problem, it's only when modifications and such are needed do i send the work out, or port work etc. Then i have Pete or someone do this.

The motor Andrew purchased from us is really a smoking deal and frankly i'm surprised more people don't go this route. When he sees the motor, he'll be blown away. It has BRAND new heads & all new cam cover bolts, new water pump, new sensors - new rings - bearings - oil pump, chains - wear strips, tensioner and on and on the list goes. No to mention, it looks brand new.

I don't think anyone can touch our price for the rebuild, but please correct me if i'm wrong.

I even warranty it too!

I wouldn't want to rebuild his motor for one simple fact, TIME FRAME. That's the only issue, we are small operation and rebuilding LT5's isn't something i do normally, more for the heck of it to be honest and just another product to have for sale. So i was to rebuild Andrews motor, look for a 2-3 month time, not to mention, i wouldn't guarantee that i could rebuild it for anywhere near the $4499.99 price, there would always be something to add to the cost somewhere, at least buying what he has, he knows what he's getting and it's ready now.

#'S Matching, well when the ZR-1 becomes a 6 figure $$$$ classic it may start to play out, but right now i don't think 99.9 % of people need to worry about this.

PS, I'll have a full rebuilt 93-95 motor ready shortly too $4999.99 on this one.
