Re: NEED ls1 engine builder within 5 hours of pittsburgh PA GMHTP will do an ad on anyone who pays! stropes are ********, and they build slow cars(PROVEN FACT) their prices are INSANE, nearly DOUBLE internet. they are also the most unprofessional group of shikesters ever! I can name NUMEROUS hack jobs and pissed off customers.
I will look into rapidmotorsports. I am doing je pistons, bearings and new rods, otherwise if I can't find someone just doing the ARE 360 short block...

Re: NEED ls1 engine builder within 5 hours of pittsburgh PA Rapid does bottom ends as well. Call up Mikey. I also recommend JPR in New Jersey - within 5 hours of Pittsburgh. Joe Price Racing. Both are sponsors. And really, Toronto is where ARE is, and that's driveable from Pittsburgh.
