[QUOTE="TxCobrA98, post: 197789, member: 8384"] well, we just called GearHeads and man was Travis (who we talked to) awesome! He and only 2 other guys have been working this whole week so they are short handed (normally have 5 or 6 guys working) but he took the time to talk to me and my dad (about 20 minutes).. He was so awesome though. I told him about the forums and hes going to get on here I think. I told him about you Hellion but i dont recall what he said. He also wanted my number and email and hes going to email me his quote on the parts and he just really cares about what we had to say. He told us whenever we were ready, to give him a call and he will fix us up. He told us he knew what he was doing with these engines and he can tune anything with any program. He was an awesome guy. I can't wait to get my car to him. Heres what we talked about Forged pistons, rods, stock crank, balanced and blueprinted. Bored out a bit i think, valve job, valve guides, valve seats (if needed and are guides and seats the same thing?), I will probably do some longtube headers while the motor is out, and possibly some cams, and definitely a tune. He quoted me 3500 dollars but if my valves and everything is messed up and i need new stuff, it could get up to like 4200. However, my engine will be completely perfect and brand new. :) my dad said we ARE going to do it, he just doesn't know when.. i was thinking a few months but it may be sooner! my dad is buying his buddies house right down the street that was built like last year, awesome house and we are selling ours. Our house as appreciated by like 40k dollars or something so thats where my engines funds will come from i think my dad said. Things aren't final yet but my dad is going to try and sell our house this week after he hires a realtor. I can't wait!!! what you guys think??!! :dancing6: :dancing6: :dancing6: :dancing6: [/QUOTE]
