Sad i didnt see this thread earlier.
If you get your motor to Yancy Shepard(smithville), you will get it done in 3 months, thats what he told me for my 3.8 and 4.1 buildups about 1 month ago....
Thats a little too long for me to wait.
His number is 816 436 0952 and 816 532 8318
He is pretty busy buildin roundy round motors right now. He does really great work. Call him tomorrow and his time frame is right on...
Karen at K&M will tell you 2-3 months, when 8 months goes by and you dont have it.... Well ya know how that goes
Buddy of mine, his bigblocks been sitting at K&M for 9 months,Just thought id throw that out there.....
They do great work, their time frame is a little off, i almost dropped my stuff off there at christmas time till i got the word from 2 sources.
They did my girdled 109 block, excellent prices and quality!
If you want excellent head work/service, go to noland cylinder head at
1519 charlotte street Talk with Tom noland to get major repair done.
If you want ported heads, get with Jim Duncan, comparable champion irons for 500.00 or so.... Ive got his number here, sure PAPA JOE does to :wink:
They fixed my cracked iron champions for cheap and installed new guides seals and all new valves.
Decked my other set of irons .012 for 40.00 and they are the #1 people to get stuff done FAST... Ive never seen so many blocks being repaired at once!
If you want any type of custom stainless steel downpipes, exhaust ect..
