I am looking to have my engine rebuilt. I have searched the threads and talked to a few of the builders mentioned, but other than a "these guys are pretty good" there is not real info about them here in the threads. Has anyone used either Jim Anderson from Xtreme Engines in Lewisville, or A1 Remanufactured Motors in Arlington.
Also does anyone have any experience with their R&R guys, Roy Smith in Fort Worth, or Richard Bowery in Lewisville? I just don't have the time or equipment to do it myself.

 

im also looking for an engine rebuild, but everyone keeps quoting me at over 1000 just for labor

 

There was a place that exchanged cores for 305s around 405$ up there in dallas somewhere, if i think of it ill let you knoe, i moved and dont have the ad on hand, might be in the trash.

 

wow. that's not bad.

 

Here are a couple like that in Dallas:

Should be able to offer some "local" recommendations.

 

can you guys find anything closer (off the top of your heads) for anything in/around Sherman, tx 75090 75091 75092 ?

 

You could start here:

ACME
219 East Pecan Street
Sherman TX 75090
(903) 893-8121

 

Those engines from Blaines and City are making me think real hard about going ahead and replacing my 305 with a 350 and setting my old block aside. Ultimately I want an original car, but for now, it sure would be nice to get that extra umph! Thanks CruZin

 

Blaines, thats it!!

 

i'll check them out after work - any of you know if they do 2.8's? or only 305/350's?

 

Just remember you will have a core charge if you do not have a usable block to exchange.
