Default LS1 & T56 drop out - Where?

Hi All,

I'm planning on inserting an LS1 and T56 into my Cobra replica...but first I need a complete drop out.

Any recommendations on who is good to deal with?

Bearing in mind that I'm in England I'd prefer to deal with someone with good feedback and pay a few extra bucks.

EBay is covered, but where else should I be going?

Many thanks

Jim

www.contemporarycorvette.com sells on eBay as 'fparts' but they also sell directly, you might want to contact them.

I'm a happy customer of theirs and they get full marks from me.

Been a little while but just gone for a '00 LS1 & T56 with 28K miles from Fparts.
Update to follow if all smooth (seems to be so far)

To complete the thread if it ever comes up on a search in the future....

Paid for the Engine on Thursday, took delivery the following Thursday (could have had it on the Tuesday, but I wasn't ready for it!) - not too shabby given that the engine came from the States and I'm in England.

It's as described, was well crated - Chalk up one very satisfied customer, happy to recommend Contemporary Corvettes (fparts) to anyone.
