Thread: Need help deciding - rebuild vs. local for-sale

Tweet

Oldman and Hotrod - You've done a good job of solidifying the opinion I had last night. I'll stick with the local builder. He used to build motors for Indy cars as well, so he probably knows something about quality and horsepower...

I spent the last three years building a wide-tire rigid chopper, and the group over at www.clubchopper.com was a great help. We all stuck together and helped each other with the ongoing projects, and my sled wouldn't have been as good without them. I have to say that with my newfound Camaro hobby, it looks like the group on www.clubhotrod.com will be no different.

Thanks everyone!

I absolutely agree with oldman2. I'm an honest person and you probably are too, but there are those individuals out there who will take advantage. If I knew who the builder was and could trust him to tell me the truth about the motor, I might be tempted to buy it if he assured me that the squish was correct @ 0.035" to 0.040". If that was a go, I'd bolt a 3,000 stall converter to it and run the snot out of it on pump gas.
