I bought it about a year and a half ago? You sold me an LT1 350 and 4L06E and you were just outside Orlando...

Well we FINALLY got to installing it and everything works PERFECT. Transmission is flawless and motor started up first try.

Only thing is you didn't really sell us a LT1 350. HAHA We saw 4300 marked on it and were curious what the heck it meant. After further research, we uncovered its a not so common (not in a good way) L99 LT1 4.3L V-8. Its not really a 350! You were a really stand up guy and I'm 100% sure you didn't know... heck, none of us knew! Just thought I'd share. Laugh

Whats really crazy is a few parts from my LT1 350 bolted right on!

That motor (4.3L VCool we picked up for my friends Camaro. Mine is a legit 5.7. My everything is DONE, just awaiting assembly. I have a spot waiting for me @ the 28th of this month. I just need my front end re-assembled (suspension) and the body bolted on.

I want to do it now but everyone is trying to rape me in prices. They want 500 - 1000$ for less than 1 days work. My friends shop is going to do it for $150. So if anyone is near Ft Lauderdale and knows a shop that wants to take it on for a decent price, I just bought a new car trailer for my beast so I'll gladly bring it out!

- Car HAS to be done by November 14th. My 87 yr grandfather is coming down from Philly for the last time and I want to give him 1 hell of a ride! Laugh He said he is really looking forward to it.
