Machine Shop Suggestion?

Post by airbur »

Looking for a good machine shop that can do the preliminary work and cleanup on my 351w block and heads. Any suggestions on something down south?

Thanks.

Sorry but I have a bad taste in my mouth with them. They have done the worst work I have ever seen on my buddies cobra. And they take forever on turn around.

I used sp!tfire for my 460. They did just machine work. I did assembly.

Let me know how things turn out, when I get home I need to drop off a 302 block to get machined for my older boy's build, we'll be doing the assembly ourselves so he can learn. Are they working the heads as well?

They are only working on the block and rotating assembly. I'm going with aftermarket heads.
