I've got a motor on the way that'll need machining. Anyone know of a good machine shop? Would rather not go to Villas, heard too many bad things. So anyone used a good shop down around Houston or San Antonio?

Karl took his LT1 to a shop in houston but he has yet to run it. But a guy we know has a chub for the place. I will see if I can dig up the name.Quote:

Owen's Racing Engines, they aren't cheap, but from what I saw they were good. USA Racing Engines built my Dad's Vette motor. Both are in Houston, neither are cheapQuote:

SRS Motors in Austin built my 383. I can get you their number if you'd like.
The kid that works at the machine shop in waco had some maching work done in waco, I you are interested in somewhere close waco would work, I would even be able to possible pick up and deliver the engine to you for a good price
My dad's ran on the dyno :flipoff2:Quote:

Maybe if you paid more than $400 for a rebuilt engine they would last longer?Quote:

Whats everyone's opinions, just rebuild the 351 or do the 393?
