Default My "Rex" 408 is here!

First off, I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to Rex. I don't know any other engine builders who would drive halfway from LA to Phoenix to meet the customer so they could get it done that weekend. Rex offered, I didn't even have to ask. That's about a 400 mile round trip for each of us. Fantastic customer service!

I was hoping to have the engine bolted in tonight but I stripped a flexplate bolt already, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow. If everything goes well it should be running by the end of the weekend.

Anyway, on to the pics.....







Rex never fails to disappoint with the shirt choice


Safe and sound in the garage

I would never buy an engine from a guy who would drove a ford...then again hauling go-fast parts for chevy's is the only thing a ford is good for.
Hey chris did he tell you how he was racing old ladies on the freeway to keep the boredom away?? Lol
Glad you have it in your possession. Can't wait to see some reports!!
