Torque plates and gen good machine shop

How fast are you looking to go??? If it’s a 9 second build or slower do you really feel the need for torque plates.

No, it will not be a race engine at all; just street and occasional strip. Into the 12s will be great for me. The current 360 build I’m finishing has piston clearances all over the place from .00175 to as much as .00425 after honing rust out of it. That’s not the build I wanted a torque plate for!

I’m looking down the road to a 340 build that I would like to be as good as it can be. For that one I want to find the best shop I can. Hensley sounds like a good bet. I’ve also found a good shop near my sons in Ohio. I travel to both places at least once a month.
