Who builds reliable race/street engines?

I bought an import flywheel years ago that was drilled for a non existent bolt pattern...close but no cigar. I have it for sale here now plugged and redrilled for an 8 bolt crank.

No disrespect to Johnny but I'm a guy who likes to have one on one contact with the guy doing the machine work on my stuff. Plus I'm incredibly anal about clearances, assembly techniques and a lot of meaningless crap I've been doing on engines since helping R&R a cylinder head on my brothers '53 Buick in 1959.

How many 10 year olds does it take to remove an 80lb. head off of a straight 8? The whole baseball team!

Over the past 50 years I have done a lot of networking with folks in our hobby. Racers, hot rodders and restorers. If you make a few calls you can find the guys who can help you get the project done.

Within my area here in WI (125 mile radius) I can do business with 8-10 good engine shops. No advertising to speak of...they all survive on their reputations. Two are Mopar specialists (although one guy is so slow I'd be dead before he got my engine done.) There's even a Ferrrai shop 30 miles away.

I've had three local shops work on my current project... Appleton Crankshaft repaired the bad journal and do the regrinding. Bay Speed flowed a cylinder head. And the original builder of this engine, Baxter Engines, is doing the block work and, now, installing 11/32" valves in the heads and touckingup the valve job. Great folks one and all.

I will give a thumbs up to BPE for doing Mopar engines... I have 60 years of hearing how great those Bowtie engines are....enough already!
