Hi guys,
There's a chance I might be upgrading to a 416 LS3 short block this winter for my 2001 Camaro SS M6.
As of right now my plans are to get a LS3 416 short block, 242 - 246 114 or 116 lsa cam, reuse my ported LS1 heads, and LS6 intake so I can get it up and running and make it somewhat affordable. Probably after a year or 2, I'll upgrade the heads and intake to really maximize my combo, probably with AFR heads and a 92 or 102 FAST intake.
A few people on here that really know who I am and have seen my car, knows I'm kinda anal when it comes to my car. I will be installing this in my garage. I have the tools and knowledge to do it myself along with a few friends to lend a hand.
Does anyone know of a good shop in Ohio that has a lot of experience with LS1 engines and stand behind their products and work without balking at the ideas of putting some kind of warranty in writing? I would rather drive to the shop and pick it up then pay for S&H, that way I can meet the people that built it.
When it comes to my car, I have trust issues and if I'm going to drop over $5,000 on a short block I want the best with a reasonable price and somekind of workmanship warranty.
I know IPS does a ton of LSx work and I hope/expect them to chime in and offer their opinion on who they trust.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
