Over the winter of 2018/2019, I had Dad replace the fender and repaint the whole right front corner of the car, and took the wounded 383" LS1 in to Baier's Engine Service for a rebuild. I pulled the junkyard 5.3 and while I had extra room to work, I cut the frame pockets out and installed Speedtech Chicane upper coilover mounts to change from the old dirt-track spring/weight-jacks to VariShock DA coilovers. I got it all back together and had it tuned by Steven Kiehne, making 434hp to the wheels peaking at 5650rpm.
