He may not do your 216 but he may be able to point you in the right direction. He can also do the machining for youif you decide to build it yourself. His prices will beat anyone in the area and he does excellent work. | | |

I am out in the Klein area - NW part of the County. Drop by some time. There are some other bolters in the area also - Jay | | |

Once the rods are machined to take inserts, it assembles just like any other motor. I had my rods converted and they worked out really well. | | |
