500+ci Builder

If I could make a recommendation, I'd say to give Mike at MRL a call. He's working on building me a 408 stroker right now that is supposed to put out 500+ HP.

I researched through the forum on FABO and was told a lot of really good things about him. From what I've seen his costs are reasonable (not cheap though) for the work he performs and components he uses. I had gotten some other recommendations from members also but it seemed as though the biggest praise seemed to be about MRL. If you're like me, you may not have noticed his ad on the right hand side of the forum pages. He is an advertiser on this site. It won't hurt to give him a call and see what he has to say. - He won't high pressure you into anything.

I'm sure there are probably a number of really good machine shop/ engine builders out there. By the time the thread that I had started had finished running it's course, I had a list of who to call and who to avoid. It really helped me to make my decision.

Several people told me to avoid Indy for an engine build. Though it seems that everybody does like their heads.
