Yes it was a completely stock crate engine setup down to the dry sump and stock Z06 manifolds. Very nice install too.

Thanks for the help...I will find the additional ponies.

I would like to wrap this thread up and focus on moving forward. Purpose of the thread was to let you guys know where Kaos & I have been for the past several months as many of you asked for updates as I use to be a lot more active on the forums. Kaos is doing GREAT now days and should honestly be wrapped up shortly. It is hard at times to get the motivation to turn the last few wrenches but hearing from you all has given me another boost of energy.

I appreciate the support and I think (hope) some productive lessons have been learned from all parties.

Amazing story. The builder should bury his head in the sand in shame for giving you that car with so many issues. I give you all the credit in the world for correcting them. And this is not the first time I've heard of hp guarantees not met. Finally, the car has a killer look. Try and enjoy it.
