Default Machine shop-phoenix area-LS1 experience
"Anyone in the Phoenix area" Can someone recommend a good machine shop in the Phoenix area that works with GM LSx motors. The machine shops in my area are way behind in the machining buisness Out of the 10 shops I've gone to none of them have worked on anything newer than a 1975 small block chevy And only one shop has a TORQUE PLATE. Anyways, I live about 160 miles from Phoenix and I will drive to Phoenix to get my machine work done!!! Please throw me some names, numbers or websites.

Thanks in advance

10 Year old Bump. Bringing this one back up from the dead. I have a early F-body LS1 with a rod knock I know I will need some machine work done on. Any body had any recent work done in the phoenix area and had a good experience?
