Forget "local" and find the best one. Call Steve Wann and leave the rest to him.

I don't disagree, having Steve involved would be awesome. The problem I have is the last time I sent a brand new hemi block, heads and a crank, all new in the box far away states from me they disappeared for like 6+ years.

I never got them back, and years later got a few sets of heads and a raised cam siamese bore block as compensation. It destroyed my dreams of having a car together to race while I was still young. I've owned this car for 30 years and I'm almost 60, this is my last shot at this. So the thought of sending another new hemi block, heads, crank and so on 2500+ miles away scares me.

Sorry for the novel, I just wanted to clear up why the desire for a local shop.

Damn, that sucks, they were a good shop with nice equipment. Chuck had a bad *** all motor 65 Coronet that he raced in Milan Dragway's heads up show on Ftiday nights. A great guy and a awesome car. Wish them all the best with whatever comes next for them.

If you can find his number call Rick Locker. He machines his own stuff.

Also back in the day Tony from BES in Cincy had Turks car competitive.

BES is indeed one of the top engine builders out there. He has had a engine in Al Smyth's SS/AH car for several years now. Willing to bet at least one of the three Line blocks that were sold a couple of months ago will end up at BES.

I've used both of these guys. Great service From both. Bruce has did my last engine. You may want to try Indy cylinder heads out of Xenia Ohio. I believe they now have a legal Super stock head for hemis
