I have a 396 that needs a rebuild. Has anyone had some work done in the milwaukee or janesville area? Looking for a quality street machine type rebuild. Also - any thoughts on roller valve train? THANKS!

EddieC67ss Dec 11th, 04, 11:31 PM I run rollers on the street and love them. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. No cam break in. 70convt396 Dec 11th, 04, 11:55 PM 66SS - your ride looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the response. Can I ask what you have under the hood? Please be specific. EddieC67ss Dec 12th, 04, 12:44 PM I ran a 396 bored 60 over 375hp 10:50cr with a Crane roller(595I 615E). It was a stock L78 with a little less cr and a roller. I pulled the motor and I am installing a complete stock bore LS6 with 10:50cr with a Crane roller(same cam specs.). It will look exactly like the L78(069 manifold,etc.). I like the all original look. The car had 26K Original miles with a NOM correct date coded motor. Car has 4:10 gears. 70convt396 Dec 12th, 04, 4:50 PM 66- I like the oem look too. What kind of cam/ intake / carb are you using? mild68ss Dec 12th, 04, 5:49 PM 70, I know a guy in Janesville that can put you in touch with someone for your motor. His name is Joe, he owns the Zeibart on Milton Ave. He has a killer 69 Chevelle to boot. Good luck 70convt396 Dec 12th, 04, 10:15 PM mild- nice pictures. nice mopar too. The 'mild' 502 looks great! What kind of wires are on their? are they special length to go around the covers and what type of looms are those?Finally let me know some info on the janesville guy- my email is hapycampers@charter.net THANKS! dave burninez Dec 13th, 04, 5:51 PM there is a place in burlington, powerbuilt performace engines 262-767-8711,732 s. pine street. i have picked up fliers from them from various shows and swap meets {vetfest} most recently. i have not tried their servicies yet. i believe they do all their work in house. i'am not sure about prices? am going to check them out this spring. i need new rings or valve job? burninez Dec 13th, 04, 5:53 PM web site is www.powerbuiltengines.com (http://www.powerbuiltengines.com) 70convt396 Dec 13th, 04, 6:08 PM burninez- good to see someone from the area, i will check 'em out .thanks 70convt396 Dec 13th, 04, 6:52 PM burninez - nice to see someone from the area! thanks for the info JohnM Dec 13th, 04, 10:52 PM Had my 283 completely rebuilt at the Parts Hut in Waukesha.
