you looking for an ls1 block? and are you looking to just have it bored out or have a motor built?

No I have a LQ4 block out of a truck and what to get it bored to build a 408 I have someone to put the motor together for me. Just need a good place to have the block bored out for the 408.

Had bad experiences with just about all the local machine shops around here. Id have to check, but I do think one or two actually have a torque plate for the LSx stuff.

What about the rest of the machine work to get it together right?

Actully "bub" at burtonsville speed is okay. Ive also had a motor built by Charlies Machine Shop Before right near grannysshifting. they dont really "Specialize" in those type of motors..

I’ve had a ton of stuff done at Charlie’s with good results, but none of it was LSX.

If you want to bring it up this far, I can do the machine work and assemble it for ya.

Yeah Walt at Charlies does (or did) a lot of our misc machinework, but they are no longer there. Nor is the body shop, or the repair shop two doors the other way or half the people in our complex anymore.

Only one person touches anything shortblock related for us however, Erik Koenig

surprisingly, a small block ford head plate will bolt right up to the LS1 motor to bore it
