S&G in Bristal seams to be the place here for T-buicks. They rebuilt mine and 3 other members here on the board that I know of plus they drive them there so they know the cars Im in kingsport and my engine is setting on the stand getting ready to go back in the car if you want to come by and see there work first hand let me know and you can come check my engine out before it goes in the car.

There is pudding in Knox but I here he has a 1 year waiting list or something crazy. I dont have his number but some one on here may. I would still think S&G is your best bet he only had my engine for 3 weeks start to finnish and would have only been 2 if I would have had my cam sooner.

 

[scot502]

Do you have a number or a web site for them?

 

[The_Six]

I dont think they have a web site there number is 423-764-7561 if you want Ill PM you my number and tell you every thing I had done and what it cost me.

You might want to try Skeen's in Jefferson City. They've been doing Buick V6 work for a long time. Talk to Curt. This is for the machine work only. If you want someone to put it together, talk to Mark Thomas (Puddin') in Knoxville (865-293-2606). There's no wait that I know of.

X2 on S&G in Bristol TN. Don Gillenwater knows his stuff when it comes to GN's. Plus the fact he has owned a few and has one now doesn't hurt. Prices are better than reasonable there and Don has got to be one of the most genuine and nicest guy you'll ever meet. you deffinitely wont have to put up with any BS from him. Thats who does all of my work as well as all the guys I know in the Tri-Cities area.

Skeens is good, but they're ungodly expensive.
