Thomas Aquinas Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hi guys I'm new to the board and Columbus in general. I'm going to start my 383 project for my 86 iroc soon and I need to find a local shop to do the engine work. Ya know get it bored, honed, decked, etc. as well as balance my rotating assembly. I live in Westerville, but I don't care how far I have to drive to find a reputable shop. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Call Keith at NAPA, 871-0600, ask for the machine shop. Very nice guy, tell him Brian Carter sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Rex Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Dave, Gas Grass or Ass recommends Napa as well. Another choice you have is M&M, those guys do quality work as well. I don't have a phone number handy but a bunch of guys on here know their number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I recommend M&M, Mike has been building and racing small block chevys for many years. He is also the most easy to work with machinists around. M&M Head Service, (740)369-6442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Aquinas Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hahaha thanks V8, I thought it was. So more votes for M&M. Earick racing in Newark too. Man, you guys rule. Thanks!! Tinman - I read another post that recommends you for welding (the guy was asking about subframe connectors). Do you have your own shop or something? I might have to contact you for some exhaust work if thats cool? Gas, Grass, or Ass (Dave) creatvie name! haha, nice Buick! what are you running in there? Thanks again guys!!!
