Possible it was him.
They don't have the greatest reputation, but I do know a couple people that have had engines built by them and none went kaboom or anything like that.
My engine is a bit of a mystery as it was built several months prior to my purchase of the car. The short block is the same, but I removed the heads and cam (#62's with a 280H) in favor of something that would live on pump gas.
The last time I spoke with GAM inquiring about pricing to have the short block rebuilt with forged rods and crank, the guy I talked to spent more time just telling me I should get rid of the 3.73's and go to a 3.08. There's reasons I want/need to get rid of the factory rods and crank, but this guy didn't really seem to care. I'm sure he was just trying to "save me some money." but it soured me on them for sure.

I asked John, Robby McCabe was his engine guy out of Colorado Springs. Builds a lot of asphalt late model engines and stuff for the Denver track racers in late model and super stock, also built a lot of GM stuff for the Pikes Peak racers. John likes him and never had an issue with their engines. John got out of racing a few years back but believes the name of the shop was McCabe Motorsports.
