    Hi Jim. Thanks for helping me out on getting those afr heads. Just got my car back together and with the combination of parts and getting my chip retuned, car seems way more powerful.

    Jim- I'm really hoping you could help me out. I just purchased an 85 vette with only 69k miles on it and after driving it for only 20 miles, the engine overheated, blew a rod and is now useless. Horrible.

    With that all being said I want to know what the best option(s) are for getting the car back on the road. Engine replaced? Rebuild? Or just sell the car and cut my losses. I would really like to keep the car an bring her back to life but I'm just not sure if makes sense financially. Any insight you could provide would be really appreciated!!! Thanks!

    My name is Gary and I got your name from Will. I'm looking to rebuild a 96 C-4 LT-1 and he said you were a good place to get AFR heads. He recommended a 55cc head. Are you still able to supply AFR?

    Hey, got your info from a member post in my C3 Tech thread "How much HP will it make". I'm working on a 76 L-48 build to a 383 stroker. I was messaged that you might make me a great deal on a set of AFR heads. If so please respond as soon as you can as I am at that stage and let me know what you have and how much. Much appreciated.

    Mike.

    Jim,

    Things have been a little rough lately. I got laid off 2 weeks ago. So that's why the phone was disconnected. It belonged to the company. My home phone is 805-934-9923. I ordered a new cell today. That number is 805-478-0551 but I won't have it for a couple more days.
