Got my engine back, AND had good company and food
The wife and I took a little trip to Des Plaines yesterday to pick my motor up from Pete. he did a top notch job of getting it all together for me, and went a few steps further than he had to. Pete made time for us, and even headed to dinner with us.
I had purchased a LSx when time started becoming an issue to put into my gto, but now tht I have my engine, a trans and almost everything else needed I think I am going to move forward with the build. I would just like to say thank you to; Pete Jerry Corey Kevin (ZR1@Gmax.com) Dominick. These people have all contributed in one way or the other to my build. |

Rob,
Good luck. I'm waiting to see the GTO with a motor, not plastic under the hood. I got a few more spare parts if needed. |

I also wanted to take the time to thank you for almost Single handedly, keeping the Illinois economy afloat. Good luck with your build, if you need someone to come by and make snide remarks while you are working on your car give me a holler. |

I might stop by your bar tonight, it's Ryans B-Day. Everyone is headed North East tomorrow, not sure when we will all be back. It's Md, Nj, Pa, Va then on to Dallas followed by Colorado. I am already packed through November and they keep throwing more on. I have already added 55 people to the payroll, and have to grab another 30-35 just to meet current schedule. |

Glad to help Rob and many thanks for your support. I'm glad you are back among us.
Odd thing about dipsticks & tubes is, they don't even come with a new crate engine.
