I'm looking for a good local shop, one that I can have clearence my block for my 383 kit I purchased, and also maybe assemble the short block for me, quailty#1, price #2 !!! I bought a 383 kit and block that already has $500 work done, and the previous owner, did not have them do clearence ??? Not sure why ? Anyways, thanks for any info.

 

I have all my machine work done at Borowski Race Engines in Joliet, Illinois. They have decent prices and do good work. http://www.borowskirace.com/

 

Of you haven't yet try Van Senus 219 989-7129

 

I have heard good things about these guys. http://www.per-race-engines.com/
