Would you just finish it already

Hey Protour your car looks awesome. In your intro post you said you had plans to put a Jon Barrett engine in your ride. Is that what you ended up with? If so, did you have any problems?

[gordonquixote]

Scott - the 50th anniversary cruise will be in 2023. Please hurry.....

LOL - just kidding - looking great as always.

Buzz0.........I friend of mine told me enough about Jon Barrett that made me decide NOT to go that route. I ended up ordering a modified ZZ4 from Gilbert Chevrolet (formerly Sallee Chevrolet) http://gilbertautoparts.com/ChevySma...kV8s/PUZZ4.cfm

Option 6 (395 HP): SUPER H.O.T. ZZ-4
H.O.T. Roller Camshaft, 1.6:1 Roller Rockers, 395 HP @ 5,800 RPM / 415 Ft. Lbs. @ 4,300 RPM.
I added an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake to it, and Jet-Hot coated Hooker Super Comp headers.

Should be lighting the candle for the first time, in another couple weeks!!

I wish your friend would have talked to me too. I just spent 7 weeks waiting for them to build me an engine that they said would take 4 weeks to build. Wrecked the 08 Power Tour for me. I just didn't know if my situation was a freak deal or there were more people out ther like me.
