Tampa/ St. Pete Engine Rebuilder

[bigboy25]

Looking for someone in the area that does good work for rebuilding bottom ends and port/polish work. So far, Engine Lab in Tampa seems like the most reputable. Let me know. Thanks

I can tell you where not to go.. Ron Kendzior Race Engineering in Palmetto.

Better Think Twice On The Engine Lab Deal ,they Did One For A Guy I Know ,and now It's Only Good As A Door Stop Or Boat Anchor

Don Cruz...........

Great guy too!

 

[bigboy25]

How can I find Don Cruz?

Don Cruz sounds like the man. Does he have a shop in Tampa? Any clue on what his shop his called? I guess I will try to do a google search on him. Thanks

I don't think Don has a shop. I could be wrong though. Julio from Alkycontrol has had some recent engine work in the PInellas area, he may be able to recommend a shop.

Back in the day we used to use this machineshop in Riverview and had pretty good success with him. I dont remember the name of the place but the owner's name is Gil. Its right on 301 when you get off of the crosstown.

This is right by where I work...I've noticed the place but not the name. If the OP wants I'll make a point to note the name of the shop.

So what's the verdict? I have a girdled 109 motor that needs work.

CRE is gone. But Dave Hartman bought it and now its Hartbeat Racing in Mt Dora. He did my 109 last year and did a great job, in fact its going into my new T Type soon.
