Money I don't have until summer. I found out that tranny shop I took my car too did some work on it, so I am going to have them look at my clutch, master cylinder, and tranny very soon.

Id change out the fluid and see what that does first. I had to do it on my Formula and it was a night and day difference.

I made an amazing discovery today! Went to change the oil in the Z and upon taking off the red head covers I noticed 2 of the 8 spark plug wires were just laying on the head from when I bought it

Default live in Evansville, looking for a good machine shop

Ready to start building my 355 LT1, I'm wondering who around SW Indiana does great work. Just need the block decked and bored. Will be running LE2 heads and cam with full boltons. Any suggestions?

Just did a similar build like that for a friend of mines 95 Z28. LE2 heads w/ 236/240 cam.

I have had good luck with Farmers on Virginia. I had used Automotive Wholesellers in the past but they fu$%ed my SBC 400 block up and wouldn't take care of it. Then they gave my friend back his LT1 crank and said it was good. You could catch your finger nail on the grooves in it. So no more Automotive for me.

Farmers sometimes takes a little while to get stuff done but so far I'm happy with them. They decked, honed and polished the crank on my friends LT1 and it looked really nice.

I took mine to take Mark Coles and they did a crappy job on the back window since they don't know how to tint with the dots at the top. I forgot where Mike took his without having problems with the back but it was by the Eastland Mall.

Uhh.. I got that crap on my tint on the hatch from Mark Cole's. They told me it's impossible to get rid of.

Whatever.

Yeah. I had them redo my back because it looked very bad. Now it just looks bad.

Just need Mike to chime in what that shop's name was.

Mark Coles did my Firehawk and I've had no problem. Ziebart is by Eastland Mall. That's what it use to be called anyway.

Yeah I read some reviews on yahoo about that Mark Cole's and don't think I'll be going there. I'll give ziebarts a call for a quote as well as classic shades. Thanks for the input everyone!
