P.S. I don't know if they will be able to continue to sell those engines that cheap.
They are thinking in increasing their price..

However - that's not what I want. I want to go once in a while to the strip and post some nice ET's... I wouldn't be satisfied running 14's or 15's. My goal is to run anywhere from high 11's (on Drag Radials) to mid to upper 12's on street tires. In combination with my new TKO - this combination will be KILLER!!!

>>Olivier- I'm off work for 2 weeks starting the 21st, if you're up this way
>>give me a yell, I'd love to see the new beast....and we can take both vettes

I will take approx. 1 - 2 weeks until both - the TKO and the engine will arrive at my mechanic in Largo (Clearwater). I sent the payment for the engine today. They will receive my payment probably tuesday and then it'll take approx. 5 days for my check to clear (I sent a personal check) and then they are immediately going to ship the engine. It should arrive late the following week. The TKO is supposed to ship early next week - so it should be there already when the engine arrives... I hope my mechanic won't take too long time to install the engine/tranny, because I can't wait to drive the "beast" when it's done!!!!

Oliver, Linda Hanlon E-Mailed me today and said there were still SEVEN more TKO's in front of mine to be shipped. She said to expect mine in about two weeks. Jim :seeya

well - you ordered after me... I called on monday and I was told that I was number 5 on the list and that they usually ship 4 GM TKO's per week. Therefore they told me that they expect to ship my TKO early next week!
