He is VERY good. I had him do the 350 in my 72 Chevelle in 1989. It still runs like a top.
However he is VERY slow. I dropped my stuff off in June and didn't get it back until November after I made a big stink about it.

I think a good $2k rebuild is cheap considering what I've paid in the past on car loan interest alone.

Is this the only guy near you doing engine work ? I bought a complete and ready to run 468 from a local engine shop for the balance owed by previous owner he and his other half split and the shop just wanted to get their money back they had in parts so I bought a 5500 dollar big block for 2500

with all the rcpts to verify what was done to motor and the shop was willing to stand behind it's work as if I was the one who paid the 5500. my advise check around and see whats available before jumping into a rebuild of your own you might get lucky just my 2 cents Mike
