I didnt really feel like Johnjz was jumping down my throat, he is just echoing the pains of living, and running a business in NJ. I guess i am old, when i was in my early teens we did it all ourself, except for the machining, my buddy owned an auto parts store, we got all the parts cheap. Well that was 30 years ago, those days are gone, i really want to do this right, the LE-2 setup was 1800.00, the parts to go with it were another 1500.00, i am just running out of money right now, so i figured i would do the shortblock myself. Hell i am already into it for 3300, if the shortblock is going to cost over 2000, i could have just bought a Golen 383 Longblock, and did no work. I derive a certain amount of pleasure doing this stuff myself, i am 48 yrs old and have never had a car in the shop, i fixed them all, i used to do bodywork for a living, and i was pretty talented at it, i do a car every winter just to keep my sanity, i cant sit in the house watching TV, i need a project. Anybody else had something done local? I would think that there are plenty of guys doing short track motors around here, hell its the same work as they would be doing on the LT-1!
