Engine work in Dallas area?
I have a noise in the bottom end of my LT4 and the quick diagnosis by a local speed shop is a rod knocking. Agreed, it sure sounds like it.
The problem is, they wont 'fix' it. And they cant find a short block for a replacement. I can have them rebuild it for 8-9k but thats my only option with them. Naturally Chevy wont touch it.
Anyone know of any other options? I live in Plano, TX (Dallas suburb).
Thanks

You will have to find someone to take it out and put it back in for you, but Automotive Machine in Fort Worth does excellent work for an affordable price. They did my C5 and I am very pleased with it. Just a good group of guys.
