Default Engine rebuild in Dallas area

I'm trying to find a shop that would rebuild a block I have. Its already a 4.030 bore that I want to get punched out to a 4.060.

So I need a block bored/prepped and assembled, anyone know a good shop for this?

Trying to figure out what makes more sense before I purchase a shortblock.

I can tell you a local shop to stay away from, and they're a sponsor on here too.

Don't know how far you are from Denton but there's a place called Wayne Calvert precision engines. My dad, brother, and myself have been having machine work done there for a while and they've always done a perfect job. Not one single complaint. This place has been in business for a very long time and I've never heard a complaint. If you go there you'll be as pleased as you could possibly be. Their website is www.waynecalvertengines.com Give them a call.

My motor and 2 customer motors have been built by WCPE ...

In road racing, the motor spins between 4 and 6K ... for 30 minutes, non-stop!
