Engine Builder - DFW
Looking for recommendations on a engine builder in DFW. I live in Carrollton, so close to there would be even better. I have used Wayne Calvert in Denton in the past, but would like to use someone else this time.
I have 351 roller that needs machine work, etc.
Thanks for your recommendation.

Kim Barr/Garland is the best man around here for this, BUT he's the pricy-est! You will not break anything that he works on. He will throw away bits and pieces that others would say are "good enough". Big dyne room to test and break-in anything that you want (long block).
Rob Camp at C&S/Plano can ship your motor up and back to Keith Craft in Arkansas for $0. That's how I did my KC-built stroker motor. Reasonable $ for work--good communication.
Avoid Plano Machine and ET Performance. Because they offer machine shop services doesn't mean that they are good machinists.
I liked a motor that Tim Allen in south Dallas did for me. Never got into or tested the full potential of the motor's extremes, but the machining was absolutely perfect.
Around the road racing world, David Fersthand in west Fort Worth is meticulous. Usually he's building radical motors with radical lift cams and high rpm redlines.
Call Carl Janin at RUFF Autocenter in Carrollton (214-269-1577). He is former Audi/Lambo/Porsche expert, races GT-1 Mustangs, and might know a high end shop close to you that is small and good.
Be careful,
Paul

I've done all my motors through Keith Craft via Rob and C&S Performance.

I have used Al at A1 machine near walnut hill ln. and I-35e. I have a 355ci SBC producing 550 HP in my road race Camaro that twist at 8500 rpm. Use only U.S. parts, and it will stay together. I am very happy with what Al does with a motor. He will build according to how much you want to spend. 972-849-7610. His shop looks like crap, but knows engines.
