Stopped by the shop the other day and checked out the RX-2. All I can say is HOLY ****. That is one fine piece of craftsmanship. This man obviously knows what he is doing. It was nice to see so many 7's all in one place. He had 3 in the bays and 1 more outside. Good to know there are so many in the area. I rarely see them anymore.

Is there a set price on rebuilds or anything like that? The reason I am asking is because I'm trying to budget myself and get a time frame going, that and it's also 11pm on a Sunday, wouldn't want to call someone so late.

I'm in Wichita KS with an engine in car and an engine out of car in a questionable state (86 N/A and 87 N/A, respectively). Not looking for anything serious, the usual rebuild parts and a street port.

Were you the one that talked to Poncho? Because there's a person that called him from Wichita.

Wasn't me, I haven't called yet.

And by set price, I meant base price that the rebuilds start at.

EDIT: I'll call when I get the chance.

Here's pics of my cousin's project, sorry I can't show you the pic of the motor until the car is ready.


















Right now it look like this



28x10.5 tires (can't figure out how can anything bigger fits)

Will try to get the motor started tomorrow and dyno on Friday. After that I can show pics of the motor setup.
