I've been reading a number of threads and trying to gather some insight as to who to trust to do engine building etc. I've picked up a L92 with LS3 heads that had some work done at West Coast Cylinder Head recently and I'm trying to get some recommendations on who would be a good engine builder in the area. The build is going into a 94 C1500 short bed standard cab, that I hope will weigh in at 3500lbs when complete, the suspension has been 4 linked and upgraded significantly with the idea I could do some auto crossing in it, but the main goal is build something with great reliability with good performance. The truck has a Ford 9" rear end with 4:11 gearing but that can always be changed out. If anyone has suggestions for a private builder or shop it would be much appreciated especially if you have any personal experience.

 

I only will deal with 2 places in all of So.Cali, Cunninham Motorsports in Murrietta (See Sponsor list) and Superior Performance in Anaheim. Both are well worth the drive!

 

thank you for the suggestion I'll look into it

 

QMP in reseda, i have tuned 3 800rwhp blower motors from them that have gone 200+ in the standing mile....if you want to take the drive we can build you a solid setup as well, being that i work with richard at WCCH heads on a daily basis i know his stuff very well, in addition Richard and i are friends.... you should also talk to richard and ask for his recommendations

 

thank you for the info, I should reach out to Richard, I'm not too concerned about the drive more interested in getting the job done right which will save a lot of headaches.

 

dont go to superior, I got screwed there.... CMS does great work!

 

I had my L98 built at Burbank Speed and machine. My buddy just got his LS1 built from there too. The owner Dave is a really cool guy. They are worth checking out.

 

x2 on QMP. They do very good work. Mike at qmp is a great guy.

 

Eddings in San Fernando does great work.

 

thanks again everyone for the input getting this kind of work done you don't want to be just shooting in the dark so thanks
