if your going for that power level I'm going to sugest you use jim wiese with trishield performance he is located in minnesota it takes a lot of cash to get one of those motors to that power level without it self destructing.

but i have seen it first hand from fast racing. booby and tims bills looked the same. and on either build, there was things they was charged for, that just didnt get done!

 

bobby's 347. charged for fly cutting the pistons. wasnt done!

even sleeved a the stock 302 ho block. (big no no) charged him for doing it, and didnt even know till he picked it up. cuase the price they charged for doing it, he would have just got a aftermarket block and said the hell with it!

 

tims motor. charged for new freeze plugs, but then they was the same old ones that was in it when he put it together years before. (new core plugs dont rust out in 2 weeks) which this one will be in small claims rather soon!

I wouldn't let anyone local touch a buick motor thats not a stock rebuild it requires custom clearances, special oiling system mods etc, rods are going to need made or you'll need to go through 100 stockers to get a perfect ones that can be cryoed or shot peened to hold up....

 

you take it wherever you want, but if I was going to build a big block buick again I wouldn't let anyone but jim touch it

Fast Racing built a 440 chrysler for me,and when it threw a rod i discovered the wrist pins were too short. It pulled the bottom off the piston.

 

M&M left a oil galley plug out of an LS1 and tried to cover it up.

 

good luck with your search!

 

BTW- I am still dealing with coolant issues on my car!
