S/SS Mopar engine builders?
 
Hello all, I've been away from racing for 20+ years so I'm way out of touch.

Looking for a engine builder familiar with Mopar Hemis and wedges in the lower Michigan/northern Ohio area. I know there's the usual suspects on the east and west coasts but was really hoping to deal with someone closer to home.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’d give Bruce Parsons a call, he’s in Dayton and know he’s done wedges. Give him a call and discuss. Terry Smith in Cincinnati is very familiar with Hemis.

When I think of Hemis and Michigan I think of Charlie Wescott.

Bill, know Charlie is the definitive wizard of Hemis but I shudder to think what his lead time would be for a new customer to get in line. Besides, Bruce doesn’t talk as far over my head LOL.

Try Tony DiPillo in Cincinnati area Specialty Motorwerkes Honkin Hemi.
He’s on Facebook search Tony DiPillo tell him Dan DeBlasio recommended you.

I thought about calling them, thanks for the input. I'll talk to them and see what they think.

I'm sure Charlie's plenty busy with all of his customers with engine programs. He is without a doubt one of the best Hemi builders anywhere, but I'm not sure I could afford him and I'm really not looking for a complete engine program. I like to assemble my own stuff, really just looking to get some high quality machine work done.

I love Tony's car, I didn't realize he was an engine builder/machinist. I'll reach out to him and see what's up.

Thank you everyone for the responses, appreciate it very much!

Is Best Machine still going? They were around Detroit and specialized in Mopar motors.

Yep, Chuck and Pete are still going. I'm not sure they do any S/SS stuff, but it's worth a call to find out. Thanks!

Best Machine has closed its doors. Good with big Mopars, not tuned into Class stuff.

Hmm, see them posting dyno pulls on Facebook regularly. Did this just happen?
