Question Who can recommend a shop to rebuild an LT1?
Posting this for a friend.

I recommended a couple sponsors, but he was told that they won't do it.


Call my friend Tony directly at 281-702-2332 or send me a PM.

Thanks,
Ulysses

Being close to the Gulf, there should be plenty of shops out here that can recondition a boat anchor.

LT1's are turds, stay away.

But if your sure on pursuing them, any of your wonderfull texas sponsor's should be able to help ya.

no problem raceway done in the fall. I will email greg and get the timeslip.

I really dont see how a camaro that weighs 3300lbs with a th-350 and a trans brake on 28 inch slicks could ever run a nine.. Especially with 700+ rwhp......
