I don't know of any local shops that i would feel good about.
Is it feasible to ship an engine to a shop?
does anyone have any recommendations to a shop?
I'm in Tucson. I used John Redgate at P.O. Machine Shop, 520/ 888-4010.
He machined my '68 C/10 Stepside's original L25 292 in 2005. He's not afraid of L6s.
My friend and I assembled it.
Build was .030-over, Crane 260H cam, 1.84'' Intake valves, Badger cast pistons, OEM rods.
I would use him again if I were building another 292.
