Hi Tom, There is a place in Holliston that does great work.

Call "ABT Machine".

They are strictly an automotive machine shop and have a good rep for their work. Not sure on cost but it shouldn't be too bad. I have personally used them and never had a problem.

Hope this helps

Joe

Joe,
You were supposed to keep that a secrete.
They are the best but try to keep that on the down low, don't want them to get so busy that it takes forever to get stuff done.
Never had a problem with them.

Do they do big block chevy's? I need a engine builder that can rebuild the 435hp 427 from my fathers Corvette. He has already had 2 done at Reid's and they did one ok and really botched the other one so he is not going back to them.

nope Nedyno did your LS6.
by the way what was the hurry in getting the motor done if it has been sitting for a year and the car still isn't put together and running.

Just kidding
