What ever you do stay away from American Engine Installation. They are the basic reason I had to get a new car.

just not outrageously over the top, unreasonably expensive. I have a quote from HKE for $900 for all machine work and assembly just want it done closer to DFW and a bit cheaper if possible.

Good choice.

Automotive Machine in downtown Ft. Worth is another good shop.
