MacNicol Racing · 07-23-2012, 03:33 PM

Looking for any recommrndations for machine shops in the sw florida area for a short block build. Looking for someone who understands "stockers", I'm not having any luck locally. Thanks

Kevin their are plenty of good machine shops around the country , but very few understand NHRA stock eliminator. My advice to you would be use BES machine in MO. He does plenty of fast stocker engines and would be worth a call. 812-576-2371

Mike Thompson Racing Engines in Naples Fl 239-643-6009. Mike is an old super stock racer. He does all of my machine work. Works on every engine like its his own. He races top sportsman in div 2 N & IHRA. Give him a call.

Kevin, I would give Dave Hartman at Heartbeat Racing Engines a call. He is in Mt. Dora Fl, just north of Orlando. I assume this is not to close but be is a good guy who builds a couple Stocker/Super Stocker engines and ALLOT of T/S and T/D engines. He is a great guy very easy to talk to and from what we have experienced very sharp.

Hello Kevin,

I'm sure all the shops mentioned are very good. When and if you get a heads up run, you owe it to yourself to go with someone who makes proven HORSEPOWER!!! ( BES)
