Looks like what Jasper does is take an old broken down motor, take it appart and inspect all the pieces and fix anything that needs to be corrected and then reassemble it, so in essence you're getting a "refurbished" motor.

I would also like to know what "drag parts" are on your car, because if I recall we recently had a member that went to a shop with a stock SS and they told him it had about 440 HP Take what they said with a grain of salt until they show you some proof. If they don't show you proof, then you too can be a Spartan and have "unknown mods"

$5,600? buy a new z28. i know the LT1 isnt made anymore, that doesnt mean you cant get a rebuilt one. you need to pick up your car and deal with someone else.

well i guess your mom gets to foot that bill. i know you could go to a smaller shop that deals with performance cars and get the same work done for half that. what did they charge to tear the motor down? draining the oil would of shown the spun bearing.
