Engine builder in Waco? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PropMan · 10-01-2018, 11:16 AM

I'm looking for a reputable engine builder in the Waco Texas area. I've got two engines to go through and don't have time to do it myself. Any help is appreciated.

I grew up in Mexia (been out to Donie many, many times - small world!) - the only builder I've ever heard anything good about was Ledford. Buddy of mine has a shop (D&D Automotive, Mexia, TX) has about 4-5 low 10/high 9 second cars between him and his brother and for the longest time Ledford did the machine work on all their big blocks. I can check with him if you'd like and see if there is anyone else around there worth mentioning.

There’s someone else from Waco on here?!

As for engine builders. I’ve used Ledfords for a few motors and have always been happy with the work they’ve done. Several of the dirt track guys use them as well.

Thanks for the replies. I"ll stop by and visit with them next time I'm in town. It's good to hear they have a good reputation.

I'm actually 60 miles east of Waco, but that's the big city for me when I need something.

They are really good to deal with, they have built several engines over the years.
