Go ahead and drop Trevor off your lists. That guy stays super busy and is always a month or more out. Great guy, he is just too busy. I guess when you get in with the Viper club of America or whatever Viper organization he is in with, you stay busy. In Garland there is Kim Barr 972-272-6121 and D&P Machine 972-840-2242. Both I have dealt with and both do good work.

Actually, ive never used any of them...But have seen work from all of them...

Lots of KOTH cars use Hans and Morgan

KECHME's heads were done by Trevor Johnson

My brother has had several dirt track/drag racing motors machined with Wells racing.

Kim Barr is a joke. But thats just me. Ive drugggg several of his 383 lt1 cars. He did the work on the heads and assembled the motor...Even spec'd a few cams for the same guy. Needless to say hes know got an LS1 in a LT1 body..lol

You know it doesnt take long for you to spill a negative statement. Kim does some great SBC and BBC stuff and isnt really known for any late model innovations. However he does most all the machine work with a quick turn around and a fair charge. Not flying any flags here, but there was no real reason for you to take a shot at the guy.
