81vette,
Try Griggs (Ted Griggs in the Spring/1960 area) or Westside Machine or Patterson Machine Shop (Gregg Patterson just S of downtown).

I have used these. My last use was Patterson 713-349-9245.

Thanks Aaron. I'll check in with Ted Griggs first, since he's closer to my side of town.

G & G in Tomball is a good shop and also HP on 2920 just east of Tomball builds all the engines for a lot of the Monster Trucks. Owner of Grave Digger lives just across the street from HP

Where are you at? Griggs is located on Riley-Fuzzel, the backway to Houston from the Woodlands. I am located in this area as well.

Aaron,

I talked to Tim Griggs at Griggs Performance. They're located at Aldiene Westfield and Riley Fuzzel which is about 15 miles from me. I'm going over to talk to him on Monday. Thanks for the info.

I would STRONGLY recommend "Engines by Jeff" at 4940 Pinemont.
His number is 713-686-3035.
Tell him that Diamond D Racing sent you and you may be able to jump ahead of some of the typical 2 month wait behind the other pro racers.
