Need an experienced motorhead to help adjust and tune engine in Houston, TX
I have a 454 BB, bored .030 over.
Its a long block. I need to start it and want to see if any experienced mechanics would come and do this for me. It needs rockers adjusted, install intake, carb, fuel pump, and other minor stuff... Im located on the East side of Houston. Or do you guys have any suggestion on a reputable shop. Thanks

If you can get it over here we can probably get my buddy next door to our shop. He has two drag cars and the Camaro runs in the 7 sec range. His street car is 1100hp he builds all his motors. here is his street car

He does this as a Hobby and runs a oil recycling business. Don't know for sure about the misc stuff you want done but you looking at the better part of a day sounds like. John is pretty hyper and get stuff done quick most of the time. He knows his crap on how to make them fast. I will ask him |

Re: Need an experienced motorhead to help adjust and tune engine in Houston, TX
I finally got a hold of him. He is starting a new Shell oil distributing company and has been busy. He said if you want to bring it over it would be about Tuesday or Wednesday of this week before he could do it if you haven't had it done yet. He said about $200
he said about an hour to do the valves intake and carb as long as you have the parts Last edited by mbgmike; 06-28-2009 at 02:26 PM. |
