I’ll be in south Tampa for a couple of months. Does anyone know a good engine builder in the area. Thanks

Brain is currently doing some machine work on my 318. Small shop, quality work.
 
I've used the same guy in Plant City Fl for 40 years. ACME Machine. Owners name is Guy Ratcliff 813-754-4425. Kinda of a gumpy SOB but I'm real good friends with him if you want me to go with you.

Does @waggin use that guy also I wonder????
 
I been going to the same guy for about 30 years now, very happy with his work, he is in inverness
 
Just wanted to say thanks to y’all for the input. I made some calls today and got some good info. Some of it surprising. Several places I called suggest that I would be ok using a cast eagle Cast crank. I’ll be making a decision on my next move by the end of next week. Again, thanks
 
Is 10.3 to 1 to much for pump gas on a street motor. Would run 93 octane of course
 
Probably depends on the cam somewhat but that should be OK. Iron or aluminum heads?
I hope to hit 10.5 or so on my upcoming build.
