Sucks to have blown two motors but everything I've heard about Bobby's BS over the years, your experience doesn't surprise me.
Hopefully whoever you have building this one will put together the last motor you need. |

Man, that really sucks. Good luck with the new motor.
And good lord, that thing was making some major power before it let go. What's the goal now that you're going to a closed deck block? Do you have to address the cooling system again now that the water jacket is filled in?

Meth is a hell of a drug. And what an idiot. Steal from individuals and you can get away with it. Steal from the state and they'll throw you under the jail.

The close deck run the same temp if not a little cooler during pulls. The reasons for this is the inserts connect the cylinders walls to the outside of the block transferring the heat to the outside of the block. The inserts slow the coolant flow down a bit to obsorb more heat

Ah that dude. He went awol from the forum after he started building that motor. Car is running great. Haven't got the itch for more power since the G is severely hampered in tire size getting that power to the ground. |

He had some health issues and setting up his shop takes time and money. So far so good on the communication. I actually trailered the car up there and met him and he is a really honest guy. I will let him chime in to fill in the details of his car but I can say its finished with the gtr cams and others goodies it will be one of the highest hp z's on the planet.. Did I mention he has a closed deck block too?

Chuck are you still on that gtm kit? What did you ever do with those exhaust manifolds? Last I remember you were trying to find replacements?
