If You want I have a Friend that lives in Fl that graduated from SAM back in 2010 with Me That works for a reputable machine shop. If you want I can give you his info to see if he can help you out he would be better then shipping parts across the states.

I'm resurrecting this thread to inform others not to do business with John Ginter. He's a liar and thief. He will take your money with no intention of supplying what is paid for.

Well I admit he got me. I done business with him for 6 years and never had a problem til recently. I gave him my money for parts but he never sent me anything. I caught him in so many lies. I'm taking some measures to rectify the problem.

And now you know why it was cheap and why he offered to give you parts at cost. No reputable builder is going to give you things at cost, you can't run a business selling at cost. You can but it won't be profitable enough to buy all that fancy equipment that is needed to PROPERLY and ACCURATELY build the motor. Also since you have Texas Speed's quote, you now know what a quality rebuild/engine costs.

As stated before, look for someone local that KNOWS LS motors. If you can't find that Texas Speed or Thompson Motorsports can set you up.
