Like Jack said, not everyone knows about the W engines. It's not your regular Chevy big block engine. Aubrey or Lamar would be the guys to talk to.

X2. Lamar has designed and his own billet heads and blocks for these motors. I would venture to say no one on the planet knows W motors better than he does.
Just saying.

I'm sure Dave LeBrun has screwed a couple of those things together in his time. Hell, one time he was telling me about the performance potential of a 312 Ford!

That would be like getting a 98 year old woman to win a Daytona spring break bikini contest.

Still trying to get THAT picture out of my mind, Gary! LOL

I understand what you are saying, and I don't think Dave does much of the actual work today. Still, he oversees what is done, and I think several of the faster Chevys from the Northeast use his machining services, such as Bob Broadbent. I just thought he would be familiar with those engines.
