I do live in Mesa. What do you have planned for your build? Just some bolt-ons and a cam? I'm in the process of...have been for a year now...building an iron 370 with some spray. :)
What part of town are you in?
little late but... Welcome from the cat-hating texan! :lol:
I need to come check out the 480 so I can catch an Authority Zero show.
I live just a couple blocks down from the Mesa Community College. I'm attending class there also.Quote:

Haha, thanks for the welcome cat-hater.:DQuote:

Either Mechanical Engineering or something in Political Science. Not sure if I want to design and build things or try and fix this damn country.Quote:

I don't do enough hot rodding or pulling heavy stuff to need a 4L80E, plus I hate the tall first gear. I figure I shouldn't be putting out enough power to destroy a 60 with just an overbore and cams.
i have a alum 5.7 bare block if u are intrested in it
If I had a place to work on things I would probably check it out. Unfortunately I live at an apartment complex and have no access to a garage or shop.Quote:
