Wow thats awesome.
Did you build that Tony?

 

[surewhynot]

Yup. Grabbed it out of the junkyard, took the block to the local machine shop and had it bored, decked and align honed and had the heads surfaced and a 3 angle valve job. I did a little port matching myself, but not much. I got the stroker kit from summit.

 

[TexasNomad]

How has it been holding up?

 

[surewhynot]

15000 miles strong. No problems

 

[TexasNomad]

Wish I could get that sorta service out there..
3 grand got me a ring job crank grind and gaskets..
They re used my old valve train and every thing

 

[surewhynot]

Do you have a local drag strip or roundy round track? Ask the drivers who they use.

I've talked to all the engine builders in Lubbock (there isn't many) and they all seem to be Good ol BowTie boys I've been told things like why rebuild it, its just gonna break down a week later or we mostly work on real engines.
That's why I've been looking in to buying a engine from a Professional builder there is only 3 engine builders in Lubbock and most of them act like they are doing you a favor just by talking to you on the phone or in person.

 

[surewhynot]

That sucks. We have several top notch builders here.
