Yes. Mostly in Omaha/Bellevue area but some in Lincoln too. Use to be an FD in the Hastings area, but never met the owner. I've been in GI a few times with my car for short business trips, and planning on going to an autocross event at the Lincoln Airport site on the 19th.

I don't know anyone off-hand with a shortblock. I'm not sure of the differences in the TII vs. NA internals but I don't think they're the same. One of the local guys will know or you can search in the 2nd gen. section.

i can go both ways with it buld it or just get it running i have lookie into both.

Don't know where your at with experience, tools or finances. But if you just want to get a reasonably priced short block rebuild, I recommend either one of these people. Both have been in business for a long time, and both appear to have a conscious. Depending on exactly what is wrong, you many not be able to do it for much less.

And excuse my confusion earlier. You posted that you had a GTU but I read it as a TII....sorry. The GTU internals will be the same as any other NA, which will probably make things simpler however you go.

EDIT:
Forgot about Prather Racing as one more alternative. They've got alot of experience in building short blocks and alot closer than the others...Topeka Ks.

I am in Omaha. My car has not been running in a long time, but hopefully soon. I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with it? I need to find someone with some advanced FD knowledge.

LOL, too chubby to hide anywhere but at a diet center.

Spring in a couple of months Rob........I'm ready.
I can read the FSM (but like the pictures best ) and we have a couple of other guys around that are pretty good with these cars. When the weather breaks we'll put the local brain-trust on it and get you going.
