Is that Speed 1 on Old U.S. 22, Lenhartsville, PA?

If it is they seem to have a pretty good reputation, especially with Rotary engines. They also seem well versed on other types of vehicles as well. Been in business since 1998.

Good luck... GUSTO

Are you anywhere Spring City? S&W Race Cars is there. They're the old SRD of Grumpy Jenkins day and ought to know engine building as well as anyone. If they're not close, they no doubt know someone closer to you that knows big block Chevy's.

Good luck... GUSTO
