    Best machine shop??
    I need a SBC block Bored, Honed,Align bored,and decked. How much will I expect to pay at each shop and how long will it take to complete? Its been about 5 years since I have done any cool motor work. OH! Who's the head guy and how much? I was thinking of having Bob McCray do the heads.
    The heads are Casting # 3998993 any comments on them?

    Who did it? How long did it take? What did they do to the heads? Just freshen? or did they do any porting? Thanks allot.

    They did not touch the heads, just the block. it was done here in Sac by Rex Hutchingson racing engines( My grand father has know rex for 50+ years. A big part of the reason why I choose them... that and they were the only one that was even willing to get out the books and try to id my motor...)
    It was about a week 10 days.
    I just posted that as info as a "ball park"

    We have some kinda, uh, special stuff, so finding a good machinist was hard. The only guy that could do our stuff was Roddy at RK Machine in Ventura (not sure if that's OC or not).

    He was also the guy behind that twin turbo'd TAH drag boat a few years ago.
