Should you decide not to do it, or have someone else do it maybe give this folks a call and chat with them. They are in Johnston, S.C.

My nephew has sent probably a half dozen to them and each one has been "jam up" and actually saved some money. I may end up letting them do my 4.8
Alvin,
I've talked to them already and yes they have a good reputation. Unless a good engine falls into my lap I'll probably take my 230ci to them and have them do the long block. Sounds like 307 pistons and roller bearing rockers would be the only upgrades I'd want. I plan to run the stock intake and a progressive 2 barrel Weber carb. Headers are not out of the question but I'm trying to keep the cost down and I can always add those later. Sounds like I need to sell some T5s to find this. Haha!
