TheHaze Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm looking for a shop to rebuild my motor. There's a few things I'm looking for. I want the block hot tanked, new bearings, everything cleaned up, and to check and make sure piston rings and everything is still spec. I also need new head studs and a new headgasket.Anyone have any experience with a particular shop? Around what price range did you pay?

Dave1647545494 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 what kind of motor? with labor rates what they are these days if its not more than stock its cheaper to just get a low mile used engine over a rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'm trying to think into the future after my winter prjects are finished. I'm using this for autox in the spring but I was going to turbo it eventually. Assuming I do so, I'll be needing a metal headgasket and some arp studs. I also don't want to risk a motor I havn't seen run. No matter what I'm pulling the motor out in a few weeks to put a new clutch in so hopefully I know what I'm doing by then.

Guest Removed Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 are you looking for a freshen up, basicly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 are you looking for a freshen up, basicly? If that includes all new gaskets, checking pistons, rings etc... installing new head gasket and studs, then yes, a freshen up. Actually all I really need is the block checked out and cleaned up. I can pull that myself and I just need it hot tanked and checked pout and the surface on top to be mde sure it's perfectly flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI Coupe Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 If you are looking for excellence at a VERY fair price call Richard Black Racing & Restorations in Lithopolis. Phone is 614-596-3118. He has done two motors and a rear for me and all work has been exceptional and way below other quotes. Give him a call.
