Question

Why are you looking for a machine shop to buy heads and a cam from? Plenty fo sponsors to do that from. Usually use a machine shop to build motors and do, well, machine work.?

I had my shortblock built by Wyane calvert in denton. But as said before, if you're buying a heads and cam combo, you should definetly check out a sponsor. Id say TSP, Patriot, AFR, comp cams, and there are a bunch of others that I cant think of at the moment for some reason.

Calvert is darn good at building them. Depends on location. Texas Speed in the panhandle, rpm is lewisville, SQR in Ft Worth, HPE, ICOn and about 100 others in Houston.

DFW: Heads and Cam can be ordered from RPM or SQR.
Just depends on where you are at.
