Default Morgan and Son. Anyone have experience ???

Good, bad, ugly??

I need my block bored, honed, decked. New Callie's crank, h beams and lunati pistons balanced

Rings bearings etc etc. basically short block build

Personal experiences would be bet but if you know a guy that knows a guy that had an issue that would be nice to know too

Also what rings would y'all suggest ( 8-15 psi. Street car)

I don't know anyone that uses them but, when I'm at the track I see them in a lot of cars.. I think the one that wins the triple threat all the time is the wife of the owner. I see them a lot at Kennedale , Dallas Raceway, Redline raceway.

Bud morgan is a freaking legend.
If you want your motor built with care, by a professional, clean, honest experienced engine builder, take it to morgan and sons. They usually build big horsepower big blocks nitrous but they have built engines used for turbo, spray and na, and have customers that run in numerous racing organizations across this great country.

I dropped everything off with them tonight... my only concern is the rings... I'm a guy that reads WAY too much into everything I find online and I have found that you don't want to use hellfire rings on a street car because they will eat up the cyl.... and you don't want to use Moly rings either... preferably a steel or something top ring.

he said plasma Moly rings... I figure I'll run 8-15psi so I need to figure out what I want to do on that part...

i would trust him with the build and let him use what he thinks he should use.
you never know the reliabilty of a random person online, but your dealing face to face with a great engine builder, follow his lead.
tell em roman rodriguez with "the joker" reccommended them.
