First of all I hope I am not going against forum rules by posting this thread in this section but I have nowhere else to turn

Ok then...
I need a good recommendation for someone to do a top end rebuild on a 73' L-48 in CT or preferably Someone willing to help me with the project
I am in need of someone that really knows the top end of a 350 Carb engine.. L-48 in this case which I would like to squeeze some more HP out of it

There is nothing wrong with the engine other than the valve guide seals are shot... the engine was rebuilt and very soon afterwards, the car sat for 11 years (It was started periodicaly during this time) and has about 7K miles on it.

I am very capable of engine/transmission/clutch changes...Auto to 4 speed conversions, Quadrajet rebuilding and tuning ect: but I have no practical experience rebuilding the top end of an engine... I have disassembled and reinstalled heads/intakes ect: but I have no experience with rebuilding heads or installing camshafts.
I would like to find someone who would be willing to help me with the selection and installation of mainly the cam shaft and possibly some head setup, springs, seals ect:
I will pay a very fair price for someone qualified.

Please post back here or PM me (that is if the post doesnt get deleted)
I am in the Danbury Ct area
Thanks all for taking the time to read this
Take care
Bob

Hope to meet you at a local bash someday....If my memory of the pics from last Booze/stripper O Rama is correct you seemed to be the life of the party ....

Thanks again
Bob

 

send a pm to connecticut.. he might know it or can probley point you in the right direction... see you wed..

 

are you getting your information from baghdad bob?

I'll definately lend a hand.. shouldnt be tooo difficult though

 

I've done that junk before.....I'm just in NYC not CT....big block, small block they're all the same

 

Bob,
Try it yourself. If you can swap out transmissions etc, you have more than enough ability to do what you want to do!

 

Im thinking about it.
I have so many options my head is spinning.

ps: Im about 20 miles from Oxford!

 

Take a ride down to the corvette cruise at Heavenly Donute in Derby on Wednsday night.

 

What time do you all get there?

 

its every wed from 6pm-8pm you will get alot of info about the c3...

 

Thanks!
