Bay Area Engine Builder Hey everyone. I am putting an LS1/T56 set up into my 1972 Datsun 240Z. I am looking for a knowledgeable LS engine builder in the Bay Area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
daves machine in freemont, california street machines in fairfield, there is a shop in napa too. there is alot of places and fyi if you take your motor to synergy motorsports to be built they just have daves machine build them.
I was going to hit them up for some work..
they do all there own work but they have shortblocks built at daves. yes i do know this for a fact. but i do also know they get better deals through daves than me and you could. but its always worth asking daves for a quote first cuz synergy will not build u a motor if you want to use stock parts and just have them machined. and daves is really hard to get ahold of cuz they are always busy. it just kind of depends what you want done. im not anti synergy or anything they do great work and i had rick build my t-56. but if you price around you can find way better deals.
O. well once I piece together some needed things I'm just looking to do a short block rebuild on a 6.0L. New bearing and all that good stuff. I'll put the rest together at home. I was gonna look into daves to just rebuild my short block.
Gottta stack up money on the side for that 408 turbo build

Interesting information there. I'm about to get a long block built, sounds like I'll have to give both of them a call and see which one would give me the better deal.

depending on what you want done its almost cheaper to buy short or long blocks from sponsors like TSP and the rest on this site. i was quoted like 7k for a shortblock from them when i could just order a TSP 408 for like 3500 for the short block. since your in willows you could save a trip all the way to freemont and just go to fairfield to CSM, california street machines. they know there stuff bro and have realistic prices.

proline built my motor and daves engine has done EVERYTHING since i bought it. I would have had dave and angie BUILD my motor but this deal i got was to good to pass up. regardless the parts in the motor and spec's are no different then what dave and angie would have done. so hands down give angie or her dad a call.
I was checkin out you camaro at the sac raceway about a month ago. A buddy of mine knows the guy that was building it. Its one mean and badass street car.
You might want to check your facts. From what I know which isn't much Bowman's motor was spec'd and built by Proline engines in Georgia. Dave's Machine services and maintains it for Bowman. Not to take anything away but the original builder needs to be recognized as well. Not too mention Proline is one of top engine builder's in the country. If you don't know then look it up on
