what are you looking to get done? rebuild....
villas, what do you need done?
Please do not waste money on that motor. First ask Eckert or Colman to come take a look at it before you tear anything apart. Next don't waste money rebuilding an m block. They pop up on Houston craigslist pretty often for a couple hundred bones, or find a used 460 to put in there.

Does it smoke?
Does it have good power?
Have you done a compression test?
You are jumping the gun here. You said it ran well on the way back from waco so why would it all the sudden need a rebuild?
Don't expect the amount of power that you felt from my engine at all. because it is old, it doesn't have any upgrades to it and you are running stock gears with 35" tires.
Where did I say I was going to get a rebuild? Nowhere.
Thanks and :flipoff2:
it would be a whole lot easier, on yourself and everyone else, if you mentioned what the hell you were doing.Quote:

Wow... all this just for asking where a reputable machining shop is located?
I've looked into Helicoil kits, and from what it looks like, it's just a cheap redneck-fab patch to getting it done the right way.
And I'm not taking them the truck with the engine in it.. I'm removing the head and taking it to Cooks.
Why are there so many assholes here?
Oh, and thank you to tommy and bcolman for answering my question
