Sorry....but you'll never find a good engine builder in Charlotte NC

so where did you get your 406 sbc?

Solid LT1

Go enjoy some nights of local circle track races and note which shops are doing motor work for the top finishing cars, that should get you headed in the right direction

I built the engine myself.....

The advise that SOLID LT1 gave you is a really good direction to go, you'll find out right away who's good and who to stay away from. Remember.....the cheapest engine builder is not generally the best engine builder. Have some fun with your reasearch...

due north of raleigh ... just inside VA ... Clarksville VA ... see Kevin Blanks Performance. Plenty top-ten CT motors darken his door.

jrubicon, did you ever find a good engine builder in the Charlotte, NC area?

I am an owner of a 1974 Corvette and looking to replace my engine with a 383. I too live in NC.

Look up Paul Fitzgerald at Southern Thunder in Concord, he builds all kinds of motors, built me a blown alki 565 Merlin 3 years ago and it has run flawless - great guy won't rip you off. Tell him Roger says hi
