need matching # engine rebuilt
I bought my first 71 Stingray this past summer and I hope to have the original # match engine rebult this spring. Does anyone know of a reliable engine shop in the Raleigh, NC area or within reasonable travel distance that could do the complete rebuild?

Hi df,
I suggest you go to the NCRS website and look at the list of chapters.
One of them is the 'Carolinas Chapter'. There'll be a phone number or e-mail address for a contact person. If you call him and explain what you're doing he may be able to make a suggestion for a shop, or give you the contact information for someone who can help you find the right shop.

Alan

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY!
I would put it in writing and have the machine shop owner sign-it.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY make sure the engine rebuilder knows the importance of the numbers on the stamp pad. If the engine block is decked and you loose those numbers you just took a $5000 hit in resale value.Many horror stories out there, I don't want yours to be one of them. Check out this link:
