Dyno Don is the only one we trust, but his waiting list is a mile long, because he's so good.

What kind of rebuild are you looking for?

Re: need help!!!.

Have you considered swapping in a G.M. crate long block? It would probably cost about the same as a rebuild, but you would not have to wait for a machine shop to do all of the machine work on your engine. I think Paul, f1ls1, does engine replacement in his garage, to my knowledge he just doesn't do total rebuilds. Most of the engines Don builds are not stock.

Re: need help!!!.

wow mine has 198.000 miles and still runs great!!! but i think its recommended to rebuild your engine every 200.000 miles you only have 140 something thousand miles. i like that idea about just grabbing a GM crate long block!!! sounds good! think ill do that when its my time.
