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.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

It is on the east side of Texas in bryan across from whataburger. I work at Cooks if you are really set on getting it rebuilt than come see us.
how about you answer the question first.
I don't see why you think it needs to be rebuilt. The problem is not the motor, its the wiring.
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.

it would be a whole lot easier, on yourself and everyone else, if you mentioned what the hell you were doing.Where did I say I was going to get a rebuild? Nowhere.
Thanks and
I need to get the spark plug hole on the #4 cylinder rethreaded.

burn
then what you need is a mechanic, or just a helicoil kit. No machine shop wants to work on a dam motor while it's still in the truck. I honestly don't know why we are still trying to help your dumb ass.
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
