I'm looking for someone in Michigan to build me a forged motor for my 06 Monte Carlo SS 5.3 LS4 front wheel drive. Obviously someone that some of you have utilized and have been happy with the work.

Car is currently running a Cartuning turbo kit as shown in sig below on stock motor. My plan is bore to 3.90", Diamond forged pistons, Callies Compstar H beam rods, LS6 intake manifold, ported heads, LS6 cam or turbo grind. Current Turbo is a T66, intercooled, and also running methanol injection. I will step up to a T72 for the new motor and hope to make 600-650hp. We estimate I'm making somewhere around 450 or so now.

Any recommendations on a builder?

 

Billy Briggs is probably your best bet. He is quite busy though.

 

Bring it over to us in Indiana, we're not too far from the Michigan border. Bob

 

yes exotic performance plus is only 2 1/2 hr's from south east michigan , thats who built my motor Bob and all of the guys over there do a great job and very happy with my motor they did for me

 

We can handle that too, we are located in West Michigan.

 

Billy had a hand in building the motor that went 6.86 in 'Casper'

Here is the article: http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl...aro/index.html

He is right in the Detroit area.

 

Kurt Urban is up in Michigan as well...

 

I second the previous sections. Might be useful to call Livernois Motorsports - they'll definately know.

One of the best in the country.

 

Kurt Urban is a good choice as well.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll be doing some research and getting quotes.

 

Tried to PM you back but your mail box if full.

 

PM box now open!

 

If you're in Michigan, you have a lot of REALLY good options. I don't think you can go wrong with anybody posted to this thread.

 

Thanks for all the replies! I met with TJ today at Baker Engineered Racing Engines (HellBentS10) and am having them do the motor for me.

 

Bob at Exotic is the man. Livernois, open your wallet.

Been there done that. Exotic has a great reputation for a long time.

From one Michigander to another.

 

Livernois.

I just like to do it right the first time.
