brands5.0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Not to many people get to see the guys that built there engine. I was rereading the article on the Romeo Engine Niche Line in 5.0 magazine and noticed that the guys they followed were Gary Marston and Jeff Hamblin. Turns out they built the motor that went into my GT500 . To them I Say Thank you… untitled.bmp untitled.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had the hood up once! Isn't there a signature under the hood by the engine builders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too spent a night in the car the first night when I fell asleep reading the manuals. I am getting ready to spend some time on the mechanics as 1badsho is going to show me around under there and make some tweaks. Don't get me wrong, I admire all you motorheads getting in there and tweaking these fine machines. Hold on to your chair but I am thinking of changing the oil myself. You heard it here first.

DON"T STOP THERE! After you change your oil you can simply install a JLT Intake, 2.6 Metco pulley and Idler and a BAD-ASS Evolution tune and you will have a whole new car to drive! Yes it makes a huge difference and yes you can do it yourself and yes your car will occasionally scare the sh** out of you afterward. Or you could have someone install a KB 2.8 and have your car scare the **it out you ALL OF THE TIME!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going 90 the other night in no time. I have to be more careful with this thing-don't want to hurt anyone! I am still trying to get up the nerve to take my eyes off the road and look to see if the boost guage is working? Maybe if I mount a little camera up behind my head................

Turns out they built the motor that went into my GT500 . To them I Say Thank you… That is very cool brands5.0. I was wondering who out there had those two builders. Save and print that article for your log book. That will come in handy some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
