My mechanic buddy seems to like Donahoe's (sp?)
in old Melbourne. Not sure how set up he is for LSX
but believe he has worked 6.0 stuff for him. Real
old timer, nothing to look at from outside but full
of machine shop goodness inside.

I had the NAPA shop in Titusville balance my 350 rotating assembly. They have a complete engine machine shop. But then, I have only been here for 10 months, so I am not clued in well on people's reputations.

Cool ill have to check on both of those. Id really like to try in stay local instead of haulin my block 3-4hrs away for machine work and not knowing what im going to get back. Also is there any good places that do custum tunes and focus on ls based stuff?

I dont know of any tuning shops on the SpaceCoast. FWIW, I have been tuning my LS1 car myself since 2001. I think that for good help here, you will have to go to Orlando.

The only really good machine work I've seen around Central/North Florida is a shop that Mike Norris recommended to a friend of mine. I don't remember the name of the shop but they did alot of LSx work. It's somewhere around Orlando, you might want to check with Mike. I've dealt in one way or another with pretty much every machine shop in the Jacksonville area and I've been far less than impressed with all of them.
