| Post subject: | What Machine Shop to Use? |
I have read and hear about all the problems people are having getting their machine work done. I know that their is a huge pool of experience reading this site, and was hoping that this post could be used as a kind of resource for those contemplating doing a performance rebuild of their slant. Perhaps people could leave name and contacts for machine shops, and a short note about their experience? I would love to find a place that you guys would trust a big valve ported head and a decent shortblock rebuild to! |

Good idea. I'm in the Everett, WA area and wouldn't mind knowing of some of the machine shops around here. Only one I know of for sure is a shop in Woodinville, and that's only through a friend who used to work there. |

Here in my area of Southern Cal the local shop has burned me at least twice..and two other persons that I know. At one time thought we had a performance shop that was slant wise in Long Beach, but lost all contact several years ago. I think our strict EPA and zoning laws might be responsible for the drought. Any shops in the South Bay area out there? |

I'm in the New England area and would also like a resource like this. There is a resource for recommended repair shops at http://www.dodgedart.org. Scroll down to Dodge Dart Resources and then click on "Dodge Dart Repair Shops". Anyone can add to this list if they have any good recommendations. Bob D |

Jopapa I would try what used to be Dick's Machine is Marysville. They did an execellent job on the escort head I had them do and they had a wide assortment of interesting blocks, heads and whatnots laying around the shop. The new owner seems to know his stuff and wasn't adverse to doing performance work on a \6. |

I live in the bay area, San Jose CA and was also looking for a good machine shop. My Scamp is getting over the hill at 80,000 and I just picked up a 72 Charger SE with a 200,000 plus 400 big block. |
