They probably bought the company because they were shown LS Chevy parts sales and growth numbers
I remember way way back when speed shops were presented with the "Import" market that was starting to roar--sadly many old school hot old guys could not stand young folks and the stupid things they were doing to silly 4 bangers
I was one of them---a real racer and steeped in the old school ways so we missed the boat on what would have been one heck of a ride--so I learned that lesson well
Engine shops that are not embracing EFI, LS Chevys and boosted builds will be like fossils before long
Thing is many are at an age where it is just easier to walk away and so machine shops will just wither and be fewer in numbers--
Embrace change or die
