Engine machining

[gbradleyb]

Can anybody recommend a good machine shop for me? I live in Lima, oh. There are a few shops pretty close to me, and even a dealership in town that says they can do it

Best is to go to some local car shows and find out who's got a booth or talk to the old guys and see where they go.

find one that has been in business for years...do research and read reviews...

what are you having built/machined?

many "old school" machine shops wont touch modular heads other than valve replacement or cams. The Modular engine was designed to REPLACE heads, not FIX them...so a true "machine shop" is what you'll need if looking for custom port work or modifications.

I want to have my engine from my 97 rebuilt with forged internals. Plan is to go forced induction, I'm growing bored with the power i currently have lol. I'm having a tough time deciding whether to have this done or just buy a short block online. Most of them I see online are iron blocks tho.

If you are doing this to a modern engine I would try to locate an engine builder who is experienced with the engine you are working on.

I'm not sure, but if I had it to do over, I would've bought a crate engine.
