  1. why don't you just get a regular trailblazer with the 5.3L in it? if you do a swap then you'll need the Y-pipe, oil pan, radiator, cooling fan, fan shroud and quite a bit more things. by the time you got everything together you could have just bought a used TB with a 5.3L and did the LS2 long block swap and been out ahead still.

    at the dealer i work at we do everything, well i do everything since no one will touch transmissions but me haha. when they built our new shop they put me in the front since thats where the customers can see because i keep my area clean. they've hired in 3 people making more then me and non of them are anywhere close to me in skill or training, but its not what you know but who you know. i told them $6 more or i'm gone, if i leave our dealer will lose Goodwill warranty coverage and rental cars along with no more corvettes since i'm the only one with all the C6 training required by GM. its good to have the upper hand when going in for more money.

    they are a pain because they give you 3 right answers and 1 wrong one and you have to pick the most right answer. talked to my service mananget today about more cash and tomorrow we have to talk with my service director and if its a no go i already have another job lined up at another chevy dealer. Jon what 2 did you take? when i was in high school i took heating and a/c, steering and suspension. thus far i have been good enough to never fail one. you could still have taken the tests and when got your work time in then they send you your certs.

    NHRA sold

    5/30/2007 Source: HD Partners Acquisition Corporation NHRA ASSETS SOLD HD Partners Acquisition Corporation Announces Proposed Acquisition of NHRA Pro Racing From the National Hot Rod Association SANTA MONICA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 30, 2007 -- HD Partners Acquisition Corporation ("HD Partners") (AMEX:HDP - News) (HDPU - News) (HDPWT - News) and the National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA"), the world's preeminent drag racing organization, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which HD Partners will acquire all of NHRA's professional racing assets, including the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing series, together with a broad set of rights to commercialize the NHRA brand. Upon consummation of the transaction, the acquired assets will be held in a wholly owned subsidiary of HD Partners named NHRA Pro Racing. The NHRA, which will remain a non-profit 501©(6) corporation, will retain all its non-professional racing, safety and educational activities and continue to be the sanctioning body for all NHRA racing activities, including the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. Eddy Hartenstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HD Partners, said, "We are extremely excited by this truly unique sports media and entertainment opportunity, which provides an ideal platform for our management team to leverage their skills and expertise in creating and marketing compelling entertainment experiences and building strong brands. NHRA President Tom Compton and his team have done a remarkable job positioning the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing series as one of the country's top motorsports events. We see tremendous opportunities in working closely with Tom, who will become President and CEO of NHRA Drag Racing, to take the sport of drag racing and the overall NHRA experience to the next level." Wally Parks, Founder of the NHRA, said, "Today's announcement represents a monumental milestone in the 56-year history of the NHRA. By virtue of the agreements we have reached with HD Partners, we are positioning the NHRA POWERade Series for great future growth and success, while at the same time are assuring the long term vitality of the NHRA." Upon closing of the transaction, Eddy Hartenstein will serve as Chairman of NHRA Pro Racing, and Tom Compton will assume the role of President and CEO and be a member of the Board. Robert Meyers, HD Partners' current Chief Financial Officer, will become the Chief Financial Officer of NHRA Pro Racing. Peter Clifford, currently Executive Vice President and General Manager of the NHRA, will become executive director of the NHRA, as well as a consultant to NHRA Pro Racing. Dallas Gardner, Chairman of the Board of NHRA, said, "This transaction provides the best opportunity for NHRA to fulfill its core mandate to protect, preserve and promote the sport of drag racing. It provides long-term financial stability to the NHRA, an unhindered opportunity for the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series to flourish and grow, and an important strategic and long-term relationship between the NHRA and NHRA Pro Racing." Tom Compton, president of the NHRA, said, "While we have made tremendous strides over the last eight years growing the professional side of the sport, today's announcement is the next logical step in the evolution of the sport of drag racing. This new relationship brings with it access to investment capital, additional expertise, relationships and complimentary skill sets to assist the current management team to drive key initiatives to accelerate the growth of the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series." Under the terms of the agreement announced today, HD Partners will acquire: -- The NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series and all professional NHRA drag racing assets and opportunities, including NHRA's existing television broadcast agreement with ESPN; -- An exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to the NHRA brand for professional drag racing activities; -- Broad and extensive rights to commercialize the NHRA brand, including: - Exclusive professional racing and "Official NHRA" sponsorship and licensing rights; - Exclusive media exploitation rights in broadcast television, home entertainment and new media; - Exclusive merchandising rights relating to both professional racing and the stand-alone NHRA brand; -- Four NHRA-owned race tracks, an additional long-term track lease in Pomona, California and the NHRA headquarters building in Glendora, California; and -- A video and photo archive chronicling the history of drag racing, which includes more than 20,000 hours of video and film. The NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series currently consists of 23 national events held at locations across the country. These multi-day events, which can draw as many as 125,000 spectators over three or more days, provide fans, racers and sponsors a unique ability to interact with each other through access to the racer pit area. In addition, NHRA's Nitro Alley display and interactive area located at each national event provides fans with a race-related entertainment experience, including the ability to get behind the wheel themselves in motorcycle and funny car simulators. All 23 national events are aired exclusively on ESPN2. The NHRA will receive approximately $121 million in total consideration, consisting of approximately $100 million in cash, approximately $9.5 million in HD Partners common stock and the assumption by HD Partners of approximately $11.5 million in debt and liabilities. In addition to retaining its non-professional racing activities and sanctioning role, the NHRA will continue to offer its membership program and publish its weekly publication National Dragster. The closing of the asset purchase and related transactions is subject to stockholder approval, regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions. HD Partners will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which more fully describes the transaction. In connection with the proposed acquisition, Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. served as financial advisor to HD Partners and Latham and Watkins LLC were HD Partners' legal advisors. Duff & Phelps, LLC provided a fairness opinion to the HD Partners board of directors. A nationally recognized investment banking firm provided a fairness opinion to the NHRA board of directors in connection with the transaction and Morrison and Foerster were the NHRA's legal advisors.

    tool truck accounts are non-intrest type loans. i know all my tools i have easy $30k. if you think about it tools are an investment that makes you money, better tools you have/right tool for the job the faster it gets done and you move on to the next job.
  18. you'll have 2-3k in exhaust tubeing alone to make the headers (321 stainless 304 or ok but 321 is the best), unless they go the cheep way and you'll have nothing but ptoblems with cracks (mild steel)

  20. that seems like alot of pressure for a carb. have you looked at BG fuel pump jegs part number 132-171006 or 132-171005? you might also want to think about a aeromotive fuel pump comtroler, its a safe way to make a race only type pump live on the street, its jegs part number is 027-16302 and i thought i was about the only one in columbus building a pro-touring/street fighter type car. PM me if you need some links to some good sites for first gens. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37650 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36722
