the nitro engine I heard goes for around $80,000 and everytime they go a 1/4 it cost $10,000 and they rebuild them in 45min its really a cool thing to watch I have some pics of that to I'll post them later
the big block chevy was about $20,000

yes, we have built alot of imports everything from old jaguar race engines from the 60s to 9 sec honda engines. we also do basic work ,like resurface heads for local repair shops and restoration work.

I'm not trying to pitch a sale to you I'm just letting you know what I do at work. I'm going to sign up as a vendor as soon as I get my banners together

eds racing heads would give us the jobs for the hondas before he started working for head games It was a while ago I dont remember the guys name since he didn't deal with us directly. I know who ever it was had some tuning issues because my boss had to weld up a couple of heads decks for the guy because he melted holes in them from detination

we do sleeve honda blocks but, since everybody sleeves blocks now and its so much cheaper then it was a couple off years ago. we really cant compete with companys like benson and ge that do it all day long. we have to go to a cnc shop we deal with and use there machine and we only are set up for darton liners, we havn't done one in a while. so we cant give the deals the internet shops can.
we can do dry sleeving in any block in our shop

that sucks that you can't do the sleeves cheap. We really need a shop local that can sleeve blocks for a resonable price without having to send them out and wait.
