Extreme Machine & Performance in Georgetown is probably your best bet. Or you can talk to Jon @ DB Rods & Minis in Hutto, he specializes in fabrication, but does A LOT of LSX stuff. Great guy to talk to, he can point you in the right direction with your build.

You can check out John @ CTM if you don't mind coming down to San Antonio. He builds all my engines for me. PM me if you are interested and I will give you his number.

my plans so far..
0.030" bore and hone with torque plate, have them install cam bearings..
I am buying wiseco 29cc dished pistons, Callies compstar H beam rods 6.125"
clean up the stock 317 heads with better valves and springs with roller rockers..
then 90mm TB with intake to be determined..maybe edelbrock 7139 intake

What size turbo are you going with? And what are you putting all this in?

I am not sure on the turbo yet... I want to do all my homework, I really want a great driver but tons of power..
it is going in a pro-touring 1967 nova (hardtop)
