Was going to say the same thing! Last one I had worked I took to engine rebuilders in Trussville. They are located off hwy 11 close to deer foot. They did a really good job for a good price. & Turn around time wasnt long either.

Haha, OK- screen name makes sence . You have to tell em that you need it like yesterday or you will be put behind everyone that comes in telling them they need it done yesterday . I will say they take special care of their regulars but will knock stuff out fairly quickly for new people if they tell em they need it asap. Most busy shops are like this. So was that LS1 block yours that was beside the line bore machine a few weeks ago? Ill run by the shop and holla at ya , been meanin to do that anyway
