11002114 M10 STG. 1 W/32-36 CARB ENGINE= $6,139.96

Is this what you ordered? Curious about your cam selection, too. Did you ship them your complete motor/trans? LOOKS SWEEET!!!

[GregR]

Yes thats what it is.

I remember because I payed $2600 for the car (Cali-76) and twice that on the engine.

I did end up shipping them connected together.

It came out really nice and so far I'm very pleased with the detail work and turnaround (around 4 months).

They gave me a rough estimate that if I use synthetic I could expect about 350k miles out of the engine and it could be rebuilt again in the future if nothing goes too awry.

As far as the cam I believe it uses the stock for daily drivability. But I'm sure you could upgrade to suit your needs.

Dirk,

Actually they will tell you they do not keep track of engine numbers reference rebuilds. That is up to the customer to supply associated paperwork. Been there, done that.

Did they use a paper or cork gasket on the pan? Any sealant visible and if so what color is it? Mine is leaking and I want to seal it up good. There are so many different opinions on this one so just curious what Korman does.

I will inspect it closer when it comes out of the crate, as far a sealant I am not sure what they use.

I find that disappointing. A restoration shop / tuner should document what they do and keep it on file ... forever. At any rate, thanks for the info, I have my engine and transmission in their shop while speak, and will make sure that everything gets properly documented.
