You might want to ask the guys on Dragcoverage.com, there are a lot of local drag racers on there.

What exactly was the problem with the motor? Bad machine work, or did they assembly the motor for you and mess something up? I'm having the block bored, align honed, and the rotating assy balanced. Going to assembly it myself

things may have changed because he did not have any way to balance rotating assembly when my engine was there a little over a year ago. That's where my biggest problem came, when I installed motor he built and assembled it was badly out of balance. I do not want to bash Dewey because I like him. My last comment on him, a friend works for the city of Mobile maintenance dept and he told me that he was off their list because of bad experiences. If Dewey himself does the work on your parts I would not worry about it but if one of the other knuckleheads do it I would worry a little. Please don't tell Dewey what we talked about but he is 74 years old and probably needs to give it up.Good luck on your build.

No, I won't say anything to Dewey. I don't really know him, except for talking to him when I dropped the parts off. Seems like a nice man.
I agree with the knucklehead statement, I was a little uneasy about them doing the work. Hopefully it will turn out ok. Wish there was more machine shop options in our area
