Hello, I'm a newbie and just purchased a silver frost 00'. I have some money and looking into doing a hybrid 3L swap. Well, I tried to go to buckshot motors website but it wouldn't come up. Are they closed?!?! If it does work, will someone post a link to their correct website please. And is Arizona chip also closed? I tried going there. Again, if you have the website, please post. Thanks

Sort of a waste of money if you ask me. Isn't it 1800 for just the bootom end all prepped. You can pay a CEG'r to do it with all the goodies for like, a little over 3k. pm blackcoog for prices. I know he does em, as well as alot of other guys. If you can do it yourself...you should. Also, I'd suggest a an oval port 3L instead of the hybrid. Do some searching on the topic and make up your mind...

the 1800 includes a brand new shortblock and the work done to it! I think...

I'm in Livonia, and I do 3L swaps too. If you are serious about going the 3L route, drop me a PM. Be warned, a 3L swap, with the necessary transmission mods/improvements, plus the labor to do the swap and the extra parts you need to buy will cost you around $3500. Sure you can do it cheaper, but that's just asking for trouble....especially if you think you are going to drop the untouched stock tranny back in and not think that you're going to break the diff or crap-out the synchros.

I think my domain name registry accidentally ran out on me and I didn't get a notice about it. I've got to get in touch with my hosting company tonight and get it back up and running. I'm not sure why ADC's site is down. The shortblocks I sell through ADC are fully torn down, checked, prepped, and rebuilt with new/upgraded parts. There is a lot of work invovled in that. I can't comment on whether or not the other guys doing these builds go as far as I do on the ones I provide, so I won't speculate, but basically with mine you are getting a rebuilt and prepped motor. You can email keith@arizonadynochip.com for more pricing and information on it or drop me a PM. Thanks, Rick

What modifications do I need to make if I go with the buckshot engine? Just tranny upgrades? If so, what kind of upgrades? Stazi, do you have a lift/garage that could handle it or no? If not, I have a garage/lift with over $10ok of snap-on tools avalible any weekend and night
