Default Have block, need builder!
I am in the Hampton Roads area and need a good machine shop and parts for a stroker ls2. It's a mildly seasoned engine that was pulled out of a new G8.

Please respond on shipping ideas or if anybody has any local suggestions!
Oh, and I would love to do business with Texas Speed shops, but no shop with the Virginia equivalent..................

LME: please provide information and quote on block shipped to LME, machined, shipped to my home with street stock forged piston & ring selection. No nitrous or boost needs on engine.

Also, provide information on sleeving of LS2 block for consideration.

I will get the rods and crank separately after line honing/ concerns are addressed.
