Hey guys how about a few places to look for a complete engine 500-600 hp range in the michigan area,i know about the zz's and shafiroff out east but i'm looking closer to home. any leads would be appreciated. Ralph

Stateline Machine can hook you up, they are located in Menominee MI

I am curious about this also. It seems like over the years I have dealt with a bunch of idiots who never get things done when they promise them to you. Very frustrating. Anyone reliable and reasonably priced in the Detroit area?

Ralph,
I know a few guys who've had lots of good work done at Thomson Automotive. He is a Chevelle owner with a sweet 72 SS with a 502. He is on Telegraph Rd. in redford, Mi. His number is 313 538-0044. If you don't mind a little drive, last spring I had a 355 built up for my 68 Camaro by Performance Machining on Old US 23. They did a great job and I'm very happy with the motor. Their number is 734 888-1156.

Good Luck,
Mike

Well depending on how far you want to go I had my 406 done by Automotive Machine (586) 296-6501 very impressive work, and shop. The motor performs beautiful and runs great, it is a mild 530hp motor. Would reccomend them in a second pleasure to deal with and I have actually taken quite a bit of more work to them since.

I am over in Windsor so a drive doesn't concern me, do any of these guys have web sites and if you could pass along combo/price info that would be great! Ralph

Thomson Automotive has a good reputation. Moldex Crankshaft isn't too far from there either. I doubt either place has a website.

Kinetic Racing Engines in Westland does all of my work, never had a problem with them. Call Chris Gesek at 734-595-7593 and tell him that I sent you. They use Moldex for all of their crank work. They just did all the machine work on a 454 block that belongs to a friend of mine, everything looks great. They can dyno your engine as well as assemble it.
