Default Re: looking for an engine builder

You may be looking at him in the mirror every day!! If you can do any engine building yourself it can be alot of fun. I broke my motor several years ago. I could only save one head,not even the oil pan. There are so many engine builders and some depend on your budgit. Mine was very tight. So I decided to do it myself. This is no class or record setting piece but I could race the next year and run .500 under the index,if needed. Not fast at all but I did it myself. This will make many laugh,,,, .030 TRW forged pistons, cast stock crank. I did put good rings in,I think. Used Cam dynamics from 90's. Used K-Motion springs, new valves and I did the valve job and CCing myself,,Thanks to help from Rich Bieble and guys on this sight. I have lots more in this engine,.035 excess deck clearance and lifters are comp cams " raceing". I am building a house this year so raceing will be very limited. Who builds the motors for the Jody Lang? Tim Barrett and Linda 1925 H/SA
