ls1 engine work recommendations
Fitting an ls1 into my 71 chevelle for the last couple of years... purchased a stage 3 kit from hawks, new heads, arp bolts for everything. Come to find water in 3 cylinders when I tore the stock 98 ls1 down (not bad but not taking chances). I want to send it out to have someone clean the block replace the bearings, rings, and put it back together with the parts I purchased.
I'm located on Long Island and need some suggestions. Skspeed is very costly and they wont fully rebuild the motor unless I purchased everything directly from them.. too late. I've used Thomas Machine Shop and they screwed me on my bbc..
So if anyone knows any other spots here on the Island that legit I'd greatly appreciate it.
