TRUSTWORTHY Import Machine Shops?
I'm considering building a block, and it seems that the most cost effective way of doing this is by having the machining done locally, and assembling the motor myself. The only problem is I don't hear much about credible trustworthy machinists locally that have experience working on imports, or more specifically my 4g63. I would just like to hear some feedback and reviews of the local shops and depending on whether or not they are good, will be the deciding factor on this motor. I considered dropping 3k+ on a vendor build block but there is alot more cost on top of that.
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is a DSM specific shop in Stauntan. I heard they do badass motor builds.

Another for Pro Engines. He didn't build me anything, but I stopped there to get a stripped bolt fixed, and he did it right away. Seemed like a great guy - and I saw marshall's SC300 there. Very nice.

Adam built my dads 454...only for it to take a shit a season later due to too much clearance and poor oil pressure.
I know Hudson's has done all of our work and they do quality stuff. I reccomend them if your staying local.
The guys at TurboTrix really know their shit though, and they have a full new in house machine shop. I believe Mark's dad does most of the machine work. I would just ship your block to them(not very costly if you ship it from a business w/ freight). Let them do the machine work and then you put it together. Thats what I'm going to do when I put the stroker in the evo.

I hear good things about TurboTrix too, of course this is 4G63 specific. BseriesTurbo traveled to visit their shop in New Jersey. I rode along for the ride, and it was a defenite expirience.
