Default Golen Engine flashback

We definitely have some of the coolest customers on the planet! Flash back to late mid 2008 we got the chance to meet a very interesting and charismatic character, Ernest Scullard out of South Africa. Ernest was in the market for a 402ci LS2 for his left hand drive (hard to find over there) C5 and had business to attend to in the states and it so happened to be in New Hampshire. We were on his radar and he had a a day off and wanted to see the shop and talk about the build he had in mind. He schedule time with Chad to ask all of the right questions and get a feel for our operation. Well he must have been impressed because he left the USA with a engine on order. Flash forward two months and we get these pictures from him.
