Since many of you may never check out the work going on in the Gear Head section within this site I'd like to bring it to your attention..... There is a man in there that does some great work!! Some of you know him as the engine builder for Wes and his Trident boats, but he also does work for individuals, and of course I'm talking about Infomaniac.
Just about 4 weeks ago I sent him the motor from my Daytona since it looked as if I spun a bearing. After his quick review it was confirmed and it was time for a rebuild. Since I was only running a mild 454 we talked about upping the cubes and of course adding "More Power" !! :D :D Info jumped right on it and starting ordering everything I'd need to make this a very strong 496 and get me the HP I was after. It all went soooo smooth (and keep in mind, I'm here in California and Info is in Oklahoma)!! with a phone call here and there and then a full thread in Gear Heads showing step by step just what was happening, and also helping many other pro builders and garage guys along the way. The thread is perhaps the most viewed (over 3000) and has 132 posts from so many people asking questions and learning from what Info was teaching them. Each time a question was put up Info was on it and was more then willing to help. And like I said, even to other professional builders ie...his competition !! He truly is a stand-up guy/builder and now friend :D
Many of you may never touch your motors, but if a time ever comes that it needs help, pick up the phone and call Infomaniac. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks Info for everything !!! I couldn't be happier !!
