So I was doing my daily run through craigslist and found this

Cam swap for 1600 doesn't sound bad- anyone heard of this guy? He's basically in my back yard is why I ask.

 

Never heard oh him. Any reason why you dont opt to do it yourself? I had no idea what i was doing my first time but i just followed the instructions on LS1howto.com and double checked everything. Super easy to follow, ive done four now. Just curious, but anyways thats a decent price all in all.

Worst case call him up and ask for some references of others you can call that he has done work for. He may not be known, but doesnt necessarily mean hes not good.

 

Look at his facebook page, looks like he just opened his shop sometime in early November. Looks to have a few cars in there but appears to only be one guy. Not a bad thing, just proceed with caution and actually check references.

His phone number comes up back in '08 on LSXnation offering car detailing work and a few other things.

he is a well known member on here, for the life of me i cant remember his screen name tho.

 

Just realized he is NemeSS. Very well known senior member on here. That would relieve any hesitation I might have.

 

yes. that is me
im not a sponsor on here yet. so I dont post links or ads.
done many a cam swap. just started in a shop. but have been doing out of my garage for many yrs. now.

 

i knew i recognized your cover photo on facebook..

 

Lol, same here. I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

 

Can vouch for Carlos. I do my own work on my car, but I know full well he is a VERY capable mechanic who has built countless LS engine, let alone just a simple cam swap. Hell even his garage has motors all over, it's like a giant LS storage room

 

I've Bought tons of parts from him. Stand up guy. I don't know him, but every time I go to his house for parts we talk for an hour or so. He knows his Sh...stuff. I do full engine and turbo builds and I always agree with what he says. I would Trust him 110% Just talk to him, you will see what I'm talking about.

 

thanks for the kind words guys.
its actually 2 guys. me n joe

 

One day I hope I can meet this Carlos guy... LOL

 

Meh, he is alright, he just talks too much. Lol

Every time we hang out we waste half the day talking about car crap.

 

Waisted day indeed. Lol

 

Congrats Carlos! I remember you talking about getting that shop opened last time we hung out, good to see it open now!

 

Well looks like a good craigslist find. Are you close to spring gun and ammo? I drove by this morning and couldn't tell... ill PM you nemeSS for details. Thanks for all the responses!
