Hello
I am looking for a good engine builder in central New York. I am from Syracuse and I was looking to have some engine work done on my 360 LA motor. Thinking heads and cam. I need more hp..
Thanks
 
Not sure how far exactly it is, but Porter Racing Heads (PRH here) is in northern VT. Probably a few hours from you but worth the drive IMO. I don't have anyone in the Syracuse area I know of.

I'm not quite understanding if you want a complete engine or you want just heads and a cam change.

These guys can build you a complete engine. http://www.competitionwedge.com

If you are just looking for someone to change the heads and cam while still in the car, Trick Auto in Mattydale could do that.

Thinking just heads and cam change. Thanks John
 
I am from Syracuse n y area, I second competition wedges! Todd does excellent work!
 
I would second Porter Racing heads. A bunch of the “broken dreams of horsepower” come from 1) not being honest with yourself of what your goals for the car are. 2) not being able to accurately convey that to the person you choose to pick/setup the motor. 3) mission creep. The more you know about the rest of the car the better suited your parts will be. I’m not being critical, there are two basic types of people. One that wants to know the what,why,when,how of engines and one that just wants it to perform as expected. If you are the just want it to perform guy, you need to be able to trust the person actually making the detailed choices. I’m supremely confident in PRH’s ability to provide a cam and head combo that will meet your needs. It’s worth the travel to me and I’m probably much farther away. If he doesn’t think it will help you reach your goal he will tell you.
 
I've used both Todd (Competition Wedge) and Dwayne (Porter Racing Heads) Can't go wrong with either. Being from the lower part of the state I've shipped heads to Dwayne, but for the Hemi build I dropped off and then picked up from Todd.

CWE is even known here on the Island that’s Long. :)
They have a good reputation as well as PRH.
A pair of no nonsense places with quality work.
You can contact PRH here on FABO.
He is at the western, northern side of Vermont.
