North Texas motor option

Hey guys I know there is a lot of DFW area folks on here. I need a motor for my 81 and my 71s rebuilt. Any ideas of a nechanic who can do that out there?
also how can I get one of those square body stickers?

Re: North Texas motor option

Are you wanting a rebuild? are you wanting to upgrade to an LSx maybe? I know a very good mechanic that uses Jasper Engines, they have a great warranty but they are a bit on the high side. Let me know, the mechanic is very close to Mansfield. he will install what you want and is darn good, I have used him for years.

Hey Bob I didnt mean to break any rules. I was just hoping to get a line one a good used motor or reasonable rebuild. This website is awesome and definitely interested in becoming a paid member. The sticker I was talking about is one I have seen in this section of the forums. It said " Aint nobody like a square body". I thought I saw that they could be bought.
