Default Who is Valvegod?

How can he sell new LS1 engine blocks for $600?

Were these new blocks acquired by a local goodfather as a result of falling off a GM delivery truck....

Is he a religous figure?

Valvegod is a lonely 400 lb man who lives in a warehouse surrounded by old newspapers. He also has 5 cats.

Actually Shaun Carter is Valvegod, and he sells a lot of GM overstock parts. Some of his stuff is new and perfect, some of it is less than perfect.

...hopefully, the 5 cats are gutted?

How does one contact him and inquire about a new GM LS1 block?

I note that our sponsor Lingenfelter will supply a new block for the Darton sleeves for a core charge of $600; does this sponsor also buy their LS1 blocks from the 400lb lonely religous man with the 5 gutted cats?

...so these are really "second" quality engine blocks that have been rejected by the General's watchful eye?

Thanks...

Nope. His LS6 blocks are new and not rejects.
