Need a machine shop/engine builder

Hi Guys,

I need someone who can do the work on the block for me, and heck wouldnt mind them throwing together the TPI setup I am putting together.

Who's the best around, both quality and price.

Don or Kevin if you guys have the time let me know... I think I have crossed to the dark side and want the 383 now

still need the block, but I am wanting a 87+ roller block, 2 bolt splayed to a 4 bolt, and would like to throw an ATI supercharger on for posterity.

James

If you're building a "383" you need the best flowing intake system you can get your hands on (read extrude honed Super Ram) 58mm throttle body etc.

Just a little heads up for ya!

How strong do you think?

Also will you have some time to maybe work on an engine? I've heard you have been real busy lately.
