Hi guys,

I'm looking for a good machine shop in north Atlanta area for milling heads. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Agreed. I'm hauling my turbo motor all the way from Nashville to Proline just to have them go through it. No chances taken, no doubts that it could have been done better!

Thanks for the replies. I'm in Roswell, so both these shops are pretty close to me.

Thumbs up

Pro-line is a much safer dependable resource IMHO.

Cool. Well, Proline actually responded to my RFQ, so... I forgot what I was going to say. Your avatar is very distracting.

Outside of maybe a 5.3L, Eagles hasn't done any LS stuff. I use them for ALL LT1 engines, but I do not take anything LS related to them.

When are you going to get a real car .. old volvos and toyotas dont count...unless they are LS powered they are pretty much nothing but boat anchors ... you listed the volvo as a project now the toyota ... quit raiding the junk yards for a ride dude ...

Wrong.

Ive replaced quite a few LS engines because they were chewing 1 qt of oil every 500 miles because some machine shop thought "they could handle it cause they built xxx engines". The LS stuff is different than what a lot of machine shops are used to doing.

I'm not saying Eagle "can't" do it, but they've never done an LS engine therefor I will not use them for any machine work/assembly on my LS stuff.

Listen here Grandpa I got a real car, its a sleeper...... Afraid of a little boost? Have a open mind to fast cars of different makes, if this motor don't pan out a LSx is going into it. My man thing is to go faster then my old Z28. Now go back to drinking your lemonade with Ken...

Yeah Volvo was a turd...... No rice here old man, I may drive a import but it is certainly not rice. If you want to see rice go to BP and look for the double stack wings...... Its ok if its not your cup of tea, not many old jean jacket wearing sporting a mullet driving nothing but a f-body would understand. Ignorance is bliss.... If certain circumstances didn't present themselves I would still have the Z28....

Yeah I hear ya and If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his azz..what ever you say a toyota cressida still = rice ... you may want to post that **** up on some riceroni web site dude ... I have been hot rodding since long before you were born and have done fords, mopars, and GM iron ... but never rice...hay man I'm phuchin proud of my mullet ... you better hope you've got enough hair to have a mullet when you get to be my age.
