There is a shop called Scrico Brothers (sp?) they build some great engines I am told. Bruces Speed shop is another one. He races all over the state so i think he does good work but can be an ***.

If you are looking for more performance, then Cartek in Garwood NJ is a place that specializes in F-body's and Corvettes. Good luck.

A&A? Where exactly in Roxbury is that? What does your car look like.. I will keep an eye out for you. You must have a tough time with all the wanna be's by the Mc Donalds

A&A is right across from the Roxbury Auto Wreakers. I believe that is Dell Ave. I own a light blue firebird, the only one around. How about yours? I sometimes go by McDonalds on Tuesdays to see the car cruise but not tonight because I have class. I also visit there on Fridays and Saturdays because a group of Third gens makes there way there from Hacketstown, and of course to play with the local import crowd.

Ok, I know where you are talking about. I will have to go over there and talk to them. Do they do standard rebuilds, just racing engines or both?

You can't miss my car. It's arrest-me-red except for the drivers side fender and the front bumber cap.. they are primer black. There is a pic of it on my site.

Hmm, I didn't know there was a group of thirdgens herding the ricers. I will have to check that out.

They build everthing. The last time I was there they were building up a numbers matching 63 corvette engine. He also builds race engine, which he has done for my friends hydroplane. What engine is in your car?
Yep you will have to stop by McDonalds some time, I'll be on the lookout for your car.

Sounds like they know their stuff. Are they familiar with stuffed applications? From the short conversation I had with Fred over at the Sirico Bros, they are a more traditional engine shop.


I have a 305 TPI at the moment. I have a 350 that needs a rebuild sitting in the garage.

I would deffinitly recomend them. They will do pretty much anything you want them to, if you have the $$. A friend of a friend is working out a deal so he can have a LT1 built up for his 4th gen.
