Talking Guess whos back,back again!!!!

Hello fellow lightning brothers.Its been a long time for those who remelmber me.Probably about 6 months since my last post.I believe it went something like BLEW MY MOTOR WITH 150 shot.Well my babys been sitting in the garage since,with quite a bit of dust on her.Have been working my *** off.I cant believe the times and acomplishments everyone has done since i posted last.My hats off to ROB 02 for braking the 11s,Vinnie for the 10s ,holy cow.!!!Seems like just yesterday i was spanking rob down middle country.lol Not no more now rob ,huh.?You the Man.For those i forgot to mention .Congrats!!!!!!Since then i have managed to get a 2003 e-320 sport.fat ride,but mainly i saved up $7,500.00 for my new motor.Im looking for all the input you guys got .What would you do,and who would you go with.Im gonna be doing all the labor myself at my shop so were talking all parts here.The one thing is that i dont want to assemble the block myself.Ill do the install but not the rotating assembly.So whats it gonna be.Block,heads,supercharger,cams.I know it cant be all.Thanx in advance for all your input.Happy holidays guys .Glad to be back.I leaning to J.L. cause ive dealt with him in the past but im open to all buiders and ideas(except j.d.m.)sorry guys.

Hey Buddy
Long time no see, GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK

I guess next time we line up,
I'm REALLY gonna get my a$$ Whopped
AGAIN
Dam Chim, you gonna make me spend lots of $
if that happens, look what happen last time
you whooped my ***.

You've been happy with JLP, he's got a good price.
$3900.00 for a built motor capable of 10's
Can't ask for much more than that.
All ready for you to bolt your Heads and Upper Motor on

Custom Built Short Blocks,C.P. Pistons,Manley rods,
Blue printed and Balanced
(NO CORE REQUIRED)
Price: $3,900.00

Of Course JDM + PSP would be equal choices to Johnny's,
Since your doing it yourself, give the big 3 a call,
and compare prices. You may wanna check into what
yr block they're giving you. I know some want to pay more and get the 03 Blocks, it's beefier and has more surface area to seal the Heads and Head Gaskets to. I would def get the inserts done to your heads while you got um off.

AND HURRY UP
April is just around the corner
Thats where we open the season,
at Cecil
YOUR COMING

BTW
I may need a ride home

WELCOME BACK BRO

Ya they're all away at the same place, give um a day.
(The tuners that is)

Hellz ya we gotta hook up. I know Knickerbocker, had/have a Customer or two on the block. I'm pretty good with a wrench for an old man you know, I've done all and many a Motor jobs myself
(but no Mod Motors). I would actually love to peek in and even help if you need it. I have this weird feeling I'll be doing it next season myself. I would have to do what your doing too,
I'm just outright broke.

I'd buy a short block, prob pay S+K to torque and install the upper half, then drop it in myself.

Don't hesitate to call.

At this point I think any of the Tuners motors will work well. You in a good Location with quite a few tuners within a few hours drive away. You could go pick your motor up and save a ton of shipping!

PSP, JLP, JDM, REM, Outrageous, and whoever else I forgot can all hook you up!

See what you did, you scarred him and now he is going to be out for the kill

Rob let me know when you need Vinnie and I to take apart your truck for revenge

Since you don't want JDM, I say go for JLP, PSP or Outrageous. They are all within drivin distance so you can save on shipping costs.
