Engine help/question

[GASHGAZER]

Does anyone know a good reasonable motor head in the 909 (951.. whatever). I think my engine finally took a dump after 450hrs. It's a stock 502MPI and I'd like to rebuild it (providing the block is still good) and maybe bore it out a little and give it a little more oomph. Possible get 500-600hp without a blower. I would like to stay away from the name guys (Pfaff, Teague, Quality, etc. Definatly not Savage!!) any help would be appreciated.....

[GASHGAZER]

BTW I want to stay away from the name guys cus I support the small business guys and spread the wealth

Is Oklahoma close enough to the 909?

Just remember you get what you pay for.
I'm sure there are lots of good small time builders out there, but, you can't go wrong with the rep of some of the more well-known builders.
I went to Paul Pfaff for my build. Paid quite a few bucks but at least I know what I got and the motor was done right the first time. Customer service is huge to me too. They were patient and educational.
Dave at DNE is another well respected builder.
Good luck, let us know what you come up with.

There's always the shipping method :)
What does shipping for an engine cost from OK to CA?

[FastTimmy]

Try Dougans out in Riverside. We used to use them for our machine work on our craftsman truck and Winston West engines. Infact they are in the new ***boat mag with the Mike Finigan build up.

I'll go along with Dougans. Their good.

[GASHGAZER]

what's the number?? who do I talk to?

[GASHGAZER]

I am also not opposed to the shipping method... hell I'd think that anyone outside of CA may know more, just cause they have a little more freedom to tinker with

[HighRoller]

How about "Engine Building for dummies"? Don't they have that book in the stores yet? :hammerhea

My motor broke the crank and took everything with it about a month ago.(HP500) Jim Van Gordon (Van Gordon Racing) (Refferral from Billy B.)in upland is putting me together a 502 cu. in. approx. 500 to 510 Hp. Give me a call and I can tell you everything he's putting into my motor and give you his number.

[MUDXPRT]

Stupid me I guess I should give you my number (909)376-8800 Andre'

Maybe less. You may have an empty return trip in a couple of days, right???

[Infomaniac]

Yea you are right Froggy. I can probably cut a deal CA to OK. Maybe even furnish the shipping container.
