    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler.

    If it is an insurance claim, get a new crate engine that's made for your year and style, and be done with it. If it's mistake you made and cannot claim it as an insurance issue, I'd do the same, swallow the cost, and mark it down as experience. You get a warranty with crate motors. I'm sure a...

    Help! 5.29 Gears - Where to go in Southeast?

    I have read nothing but great reports about ECG. If I were to get regeared, I would travel to them. However, having said that, I live in NC and would have to drive about 4 hours across the state to their shop to have them install the gearing choice, which I would gladly do.
