Get ahold of Lou- he'll steer you in the right direction. Or, Sod Bogosian may have a line on a good machine shop.

yeah i kinda want to cut out the middle man and go straight to the source, im aiming more towards L&R in santa fe springs they did alot of engine builds for OVERHAULING, but id like to get some other feedback to

I can understand that you want to cut out the middleman, although I do not not necessarily agree with that theory though, but I still think that Lou or Sod would steer you in the right direction.

I'm not interested but give Sod a call I would be curious to see how that would work out.

I've had good results from the guys at Nutech Engines in Lakeside Ca. Both the father Britt and son James are a PITA from time to time but they know what they're doing. They do mostly Chevy stuff as you might imagine and BBC is their forte' but they know Buick's too. Their machine work is top notch.

Sod turned around a 3.8 with main caps & a 3.8 stroker motor main capped in 2 weeks for us.
Both JE pistons,decked, blue printed etc.
I have never seen 1 motor much less 2 done that fast. From the time we shipped till it was on it's way back here 3 weeks had passed.
I figured I'll ship him 2 while were moving & it will be 2 less things to move.
I was just like DAYUMN!
I think having a middle man who supplies alot of business to a machine shop will get you done faster in my opinion.

you might try benson machine in santa ana .years back they did buddy ingersols stuff and they had the only torque plate I could find at that time for the hot air motor I put together.

For guys down in the San Diego area Nutech has a torque plate for a Buick V6 also.
