...completely rebuilt and is running a 382 stroker kit with forged piston and crank and a new LS3 Cam.

Great project

For reference for everyone, 382ci in European money means 6257 cc (so LS3 than LS1 capacity wise).

[argoose]

If it helps you tell the story then yes!!

[e-mail] for all the good bits!!!

Sadly still in long term recovery and have a new operation date for june 2012 were my licence will be taken away for another 6 months bugger!!

Great news on getting teh Griff back and working Angus. Was gutted to hear you've got to go back in but hopefully this is after the Growl so you can drive the car there and have a full weekend prior to the op.

Paul can't wait mate

I have cancelled everything but Chatsworth and a full weekend at the Growl. The Griff sounds and drives great and it would be great to spend time in the bar with all the regular offenders.

having to have yet another operation and its another major long one with the same recovery time. Still hoping this will be the last time as no more tumour found which is great news. Hoping that maybe fit enough for another WWM christmas party even if they have to keep me in a wheelchair.

Derek speak to Craig he will do a great job and it will work??

Hope all is well

Fantastic news, probably all thanks to the power of positive thinking, something you have in abundance

Maybe in a year or 2.
Hmmm 600 bhp + 400 nitrous would be a nice round figure for the future project

Thanks David

Is that you car at the autosports show at the nec?? Didnt get to have a close look at the picture but it looked like yours. See you at Chatsworth and Griff Growl but sadly had to cancel the Classic which is a major bugger.

[bebee]

I've heard nothing but good reports about Sportmotive, wish I had used them when I had my Griff, I might have kept it but for the 'other' rip off company I used, they put me off owning one!

Griff looks stunning BTW.

[angry jock]

As I've already said to you Angus, its a seriously good looking Griff and I'm looking forward to seeing it at Chatsworth and the Growl
