I'll be a guest speaker at the 2026 Cadillac Allante and XLR Invitational in Grand Rapids Michigan.

I am not in this business for any recognition or fame of any sort. I want to remain humble and down-to-earth. I'm proud of some things I've done in life, less than proud of some others. But at the end of the day any and all Glory belongs to God. My shortcomings will be made whole, as time allows.

A few things need to be done before I can attend this event. Take care of the people who I have been trusted to serve, and after that, do some work to the vehicle I intend to bring. And no, it's not the Eldorado in this photo.

This was the "Northstar Barn".....circa 2012. I rented it for about 10 years.

If people gave up on their cars I'd buy them for parts or restoration.

This barn was torn down last year, unfortunately. I was only renting it but if it were mine, I'd have hired someone to install new siding, a new roof, and do some interior renos. It was bout 50x100 feet and had a very nice concrete floor. Too many nice old barns get bulldozed when they simply need some attention.

Good morning, I hope everyone is starting off this beautiful Tuesday morning with positive energy!

Our plans this week are to get a lot of shipments out the door, and toward the end of the week introduce the project car that is going to turn the "talk" into proof of concept.

On another note.....the "First Brands" chapter 11 situation.....any news on that? Have shortages in the automotive industry affected you in any way? Drop your comments down below!

Wishing everyone a blessed Memorial Day. We will be closed today for the holiday and back in the office tomorrow.

Just over a week ago I (Jake) and Justin M. attended NHRA's YES DAY at Toronto Motorsports Park.

Many tradesmen and tradeswomen came to promote various trades to around 675 high school students that attended this fabulous event.

These students got to see first hand how exciting and rewarding it is to be in the trades. They also got to see some awesome cars run down the 1/4 mile.

NHRA's YES Day is sponsored by Ford, NAPA, and the U.S. Air Force. These events are scheduled throughout the USA, and also some in Canada as well.

A special thanks to my friend Jason Hardie for inviting us, and all those who made this event possible. We really need to ensure that our skills and knowledge will carry over to the next generation!

The ultimate Northstar engine upgrade for your Cadillac! 🤣😂

No disrespect to Northern Tool + Equipment, apples to oranges! When I need a new engine for my kids' go-kart, I'm "Northstar" swapping it! 😃

Another crate engine is going to be picked up tomorrow at our Port Huron, Michigan facility and will be making its way West to California.

Next week we expect a few cores to come in, and a build to begin for a 1993 Allante.

I spend a lot of time on the road now. There's about 45 minutes of my 2 hour drive where I have extremely spotty cell service. I have tried to take calls, they drop. Sometimes I miss them entirely.

Until I have someone at a desk taking calls again, this is the solution.

Cell booster installed. Hopefully it helps.

We are ready to take bookings on Northstar 4.0 and 4.6L Engines in Port Huron, MI. Starting out with the front wheel drive cars, 1993-2011.

If you pull the engine, strap it to a pallet or put it in a crate, we will handle everything else: Freight pickup, the repairs, and the shipping back to you.

Pricing for a complete re-seal (all gaskets top to bottom, Suregrip Head Studs, new primary tensioner included) is $3500. Freight is additional.

We expect most freight quotes to be $250-350 per direction, in the lower 48 states.

If you can pull your engine or have your technician do it, put it in a crate, we will take care of the rest.

$750 deposit required. Balance due before the engine ships back to you.

In the event that the engine is deemed irrepairable, for any reason during disassembly, we will not charge you diagnostics. We will only charge the shipping to us, and back, if you want it returned.

This re-seal service will NOT address oil consumption from worn rings. If your car is consuming a lot of oil, schedule it for a rebuild.

If you want to reserve your place in line, go through the order process in the link in the comments. We will reply with a ship quote and wait for your authorization before we bill your card. $750 is only billed once you agree on shipping costs to/from. The balance due before the engine is sent back.

This service is available to repair shops too. If you want to help your customer but don't want the headache of repairing the engine, this is an option for you.

You can ALWAYS counter negative energy, with positive energy.

If someone does not accept that, you move on to the next.

I am not going to waste my time feeding the trolls. I will give the trolls what I owe them. Nothing more.

When you call a business outside of their business hours....6:38am....and they call you back, it's wise to not b*tch them out for not answering their phone.

Business hours are posted on the site. Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. Contact outside of that, is available by email as available. My early morning hours are spent machining parts.
