A little bit of a drive from you, but Dave at Wesco is just awesome.

Rod bolts broke........rod came through the oil pan....cam shaft broke......it was ugly and with no warning. never was pleased with the local builder we used, but the old guy that we had used in the past, we lost in a racing accident.

I have been using R&R Motorsports in Benton, IL for my engine work for almost 20 years. Very good and reliable. Ask for Ray

I'd be interested to know more about Brad Smith in Joplin, he's only an Hour away.

It's a tough time of year because everyone's so busy but if they can fit you in they can certainly take care of everything you need. Just be careful, you may leave with twin turbos and EFI.

Dave Weseldyke's as good as it gets for blown marine engines too.

I also suggest Dave Weseldyke of Wesco Racing! I've personally used him and was very happy with the engine he built me. He is one of the best of the best and I'm sure many other will agree!
