Gen 4 iron 5.3 Block I just moved to Lafayette, La. Are their any recommendations for a reputable machine shop close by to build up my 5.3 block? Originally, I was going to have the block machined and leave it stock bore with forged internals to run some form of forced induction. I have changed my mind and decided to go with a 383 stroker kit and spray. Will be going into a 99 Z/28 with a 6spd.

So, I did a little research and ran across Futral Motorsports in Walker, La (Not too far from me). They gave me the name to a machine shop they use. Womack's machine. The guy there seemed to be knowledgeable of what I'm wanting to do (383 stroker out of the iron 5.3L block that I have). My question is now, has anyone had experience with Futral? I'm curious to hear how they are.

Futral was and is extremely well known by anyone whose been around ls motors and fbodys for awhile. He doesn't advertise like some of the newer shops cause he doesn't have to. His reputation speaks for itself. I wouldnt hesitate to use him if I was near to him.
