My friend installed a New Ls1 in my Camaro for me after i threw a rod through my oil pan, I recieved the car not knowing anything about the motor, he lives in Sulphur Springs, Tx and im in Abilene, Tx....So after i got the car back and drove it, i opened the hood to see what engine was installed, its a 01-04 Ls1, 241 Heads, Ls6 intake...ect...I didnt run the block castings, havent had time, well i asked him where the engine came from? He replied said a place in dallas called Tinker? He told me they disassemble the engine, and replace the sleeves, and the rings...And mark all the engine componets with a T. Is this some kind of performance engine? It pulls really hard, and runs much stronger than my 01 ss...If anyone knows anything about it please let me know. Thanks

 

No idea. Yellow pages?

-Lurius

 

I looked online and found nothing, is there a manufacture that does ls1 tear downs and re sells them?

 

I live here in DFW and am real big into the LSX scene. never heard of them bro.

Theres a guy on the board with the name Tinkrd. He could have sold your buddy this motor to put in your car. It was a forged 347 he had.

 

No offense man, but how did you not know what was going in your car? That would irk the hell out of me.

 

well it was sort of shady is what he told me it was a warehouse of like 150 ls1s in wrappers...and he didnt ask many ?'s they told him it was re sleeved and re ringed...so he gave him the money and took off...i messed around with a 03 cobra...pullied and a few bolt ons and had a car or so on him...so it pulls hard for have stock everything now..lol

 

Sounds like Bishop engine. They do that here in BigD.

 

not I. my old block is sitting in my garage on a stand.
