I'm about as far away from you as can be. But, I can suggest you look for what you seek in dogpile: http://www.dogpile.com/ and then further check out the answers w/ the BBB: http://search.bbb.org/search.html

There are some in Buffalo...

When I lived in Depew 15 years ago, I used Jan-Cen Automotive on Transit road in West Seneca for all my stuff. They did quality work at reasonable prices back then, don't know about now though.

Jan-Cen should be able to do all of it. I went to high school with one of the owners, Mike Janis. Tell him Darryl from Lancaster High School sent you. Haven't talked to him in the 15+ years I've been in FL but he should be able to help you.

I grew up in Kenmore and moved to Houston 5 years ago. I had J&L Performance (or is it J&L Machine Shop) out on Walden in Depew machine my Pontiac 455 block, crank, and heads. They did an excellent job for a good price. I compared the work and price to Jan-cen and others and still would go back. My brother also had them work on his 440 for his 1971 Roadrunner. Great place. Ask for Paul.

Default Someone else to consider...

Check with Carl McQuillen Racing Engines as well....Carl is a good guy, does excellent work, and charges reasonable prices. I think he is extremely close to Buffalo, NY.
