Hi Gehn, we did Gary's engine at Lesco my son's shop what seems like a long time ago now. Saab's being so misunderstood made an engine program a nightmare in the beginning. Gary's took forever while we were being promised things like high strength rod bolts from ARP etc. We finally gave up and converted GM's rods to big block Chevy 7/16" wave lock ARP bolts to get his job completed correctly but if we charged for the time it takes it would run the cost up to where we would just go with a custom rod like we used in Jordan's engine. We are just now getting through the time consuming R&D on our flow bench that it takes including the '94 up heads to do the necessary porting cost effectively and complete our solid lifter cam profiles, we've already perfected our hydraulic 16 valve grinds like Jordan's using until his street solid lifter setup is ready to install! Anyway soon we'll have our whole Saab engine program completed and on our Group 9 Performance web site. It's finally sunk in that I can't do everything by myself like I was trying to do on GM's even with James doing so much for the new company from his east coast location so I'm having Lesco do everything for us from complete Saab engines to just the individual components it takes for a 300 to 500 H.P. motor with their new CNC boring mill which will also keep the costs down considering the NASCAR quality work they can do with this awesome machine. I've spent over 5 years now getting each item completed like our lightened crankshafts and all of the custom Saab fasteners we have to modify from ARP for Saab's! Now you know who Dave is and then some. Take care!
