A huge thanks to Lem Evans for his *exceptional* customer service (and hospitality). I sent an email to Lem asking about building an engine for me. I got a CALL back within an hour! Lem took the time to talk to me about my goals, worked out some of my questions on unknowns... came back to me in a few days time with a price quote... and after a few changes, ADDITIONS and modifications came within dollars of his original quote... NO hidden suprises.

Big thanks for a job well done to Jet Boat Bob, super nice guy beautifull job on the build!... and Mike from Automotive Machine & Perf for the dyno session and help packing the big block for the long rige home!

Nice build and nice numbers! I agree, Lem is a hard guy to beat. He understands customer service. Pretty rare these days.

nice power #'s that low end tq will get that big car moven with horsepower kicken when gets ROLLEN. Ihave always liked torinos
wish i still had my 72 for a steet car

should be a Torino.

nice power that's awesome for pump gas

Yes im very happy with the dyno results... I know I have left ALOT of potential on the table with the 10:1 compression for pump gas, and a relatively mild cam (and smallish 1050 carb too). but this *IS* a 100% street driven car, with alot of miles clocked at "cruises"...

this winter will be spend getting the chassis together to put this to the street...

Shane

I realize you have left some potential on the table , but do you realize that engine would run deep into the 5 second zone 1/8 mile in a 2400-2500 lb chassis car on pump gas

Thats is awesome. I need a set-up like that. What size headers did you use? Do you plan on running it in any certain class or just street/ test & tune?

Headers at the dyno were 2".

what do you think it will do in a 1/16 mile stoplight race

this will be 100% street driven... ive owned that Torino since 1992 and have had no desire to drive it down the strip... I just enjoy beating up local rice burners and mid 90s camaros with huge rear tires.

Shane

Very ! I agree 100% Shane. You can't beat those Evans/Hardison builds. Lem and Jet Boat Bob built my engine back in 2005, Charlie did the heads and T-ram. It has run flawlessly ever since we pulled it off of the dyno, and like you said, no surprises when I went and picked it up. The Kentucky Krew is very meticulous about their work .

I'd agree with Doug, You get what you pay for in Kentucky. Much nicer crowd than alot of the Big City shops.
