Trying to find a engine builder or shop to talk to about rebuilding my lt1. I'm going to have LE do my heads and cam just need to speak with a builder about what route to go...355, 383 pistons rods and all that other stuff.

 

You looking for an installer or just an engine builder? Most performance shops farm out the short block or long block and then R&R at there place. If you want to do the R&R yourself you can save a lot of money.

 

I'm looking for a builder, I will be putting the motor in myself just need someone to give advice on parts such as crank (stock or new), rods (h or i beam forged?), pistons cc, dished etc..assembling the motor and for dyno tuning as well. I have enitre separte motor sitting in the garage that I'm about to start tearing down and getting ready to go some where..

It says a lot about a performance engine builder to have been in the business for 40 years and in the same location.

3 seasons ago, I had my road race motor built there and 2 years ago had a customer's motor built there. Still going strong.

Thanks Man! I will contact him.

 

I've heard good things about Metroplex Automotive in Mesquite.

 

Can't go wrong with Calvert's, Engines Xtreme, Kim Barr and a few others. Just depends what you are looking for and how much you want to spend. I've used Wayne Calvert and Jim Anderson before with good results.
