GN Engine builder in Ohio/surrounding states?

[JustABuick]

I did a search, and uncovered (of course) Weber, which I am considering. I also spoke to a member near Dayton, and he recommended a place called Dayton Crankshaft. Does anyone have any positive/negative experience with these places? Know of any other good ones? I'm taking my time with the build, so I'm not really on a "budget", but would still like to keep the costs as low as possible. I'm just not sure if I need to go as all out as what Weber builds. My goal is a reliable driver, primarily street use, maybe 2 or 3 trips to the track (mid-high 11s) a year.

Thanks, Kelly

Dave at Dayton Crank is a good guy to deal with as is Ohio George Montgomery also in Dayton. I have had work done by both , quality people.

I was also wondering about them, I've heard good things. I was only hesitant because of horror stories about builds from smaller shops.

You'll hear bad experiences with everyone.. some moreso than others.

Hmmm, well I hope I won't be one of them! I'm fairly set on Dayton Crank or Weber, but I'm going to BPG, and I'll ask around and try to get a general idea of the good and the bad

I recommend Dave to do the machine work on block rods and crank .I use Dave Layer for the heads Head up Racing.Dave Knopp@ Dayton Crank is a machinist he will do a great job on the clearances however i always assemble my own stuff .His shop is not the cleanest and it is very small like walking into the 60s. Ohio George also very good.Oldest running race shop in the USA

Thanks for the help, where is Ohio George located? I would prefer to have a shop that could do both the machine work and assemble a long block in the same place
