If Terry told you what it takes to make the 3L LS fit for free, then he would be out hours and hours of R&D...and remember time is money. Giving away services for free, what kind of business practice would that be?
I hope you can understand where I am coming from here...Terry works on Contours for a living, this is not just a hobby to him. If he gives all of his intellectual property away for free he would put himself out of business.
Truly, if you want to build up an LS yourself to save money, do the research yourself and figure out what needs to be done. Not so easy, I know, I tried. Not saying you can't do it, but you'll see really quickly how much work it takes to actually make an LS fit...it takes a lot more than just moving a couple of bolts.
That's why Terry can do what he does, he's one of the few people around that really understands the Duratec engine inside and out...it's a competitive advantage and there is no reason he should give it away for free.
This is not an attack, I just think it's a little unreasonable to ask that Terry give away all of his hard work for free...you don't work for free, do you?
