Engine Builder Monty Cline of Chester VA.
 

I just wanted to put it out there that Monty is back to building engines full time, anyone that been around performance for any length of time knows or has heard of Monty Cline. Monty has been building my Race Engines for years and is very reasonable, he let's me do all the stuff i can do (pull engine out, remove accessories) witch saves me money and he handles everything I can't do. Anyone that knows Monty knows how meticulous he is and will find the best solution to any problem. You can call him direct at 804-307-4117

Is he working out of a shop somewhere or at home. I'm going to be starting on a motor for a street rod, soon. I haven't seen him in over a year. Thanks

his working out of a shop. central city towing in enon, off old Bermuda hundred

was he the "cline automotive" years ago ?

What are you building Jay? We need to catch up soon:ernaehrung004:

Yes, The shop is off Rt1, 1st Left going south on 1 past John Tyler, a mile or so on the right, dropped my motor off there last week, he found 2 bad rockers that could have been catastrophic.

fastedy,

I have a 502mpi that needs a re-build. What kind of time frame do you think for something like this?

I bought a 598 from a guy named Tom with a superboat. I believe you know this guy. I have not done a thing with the motor yet mainly because I am having a hard time spending the money on a drive that will handle it. So now I am thinking of just rebuilding my 502 and bumping up the hp a little and selling the 598. I work in Afghanistan and I am only home for short periods of time thus the reason for turn around time on the rebuild.

Did that motor come from California? if so it must have come from that boat I bought and sold last year. Give Monty a call, thats his cell number above, Im sure he could work with your time constrants with some notice, tell him you got his number from this post, I told him I would spread the word

Yes it did come from California, and it was in the boat you bought. Anything I need to know about it before I put it in? Good or Bad, I would rather know before I put it in if something needs to be repaired.

I will call Monty today and metion this post.

Just got off the phone with Monty, I am going to pull my motor when I get home and take it to him.

I cant wait to get on the water....I am sick of this dust bowl!!

Who can re-tune the ECM after I have Monty build the engine? I will also need exhaust for the 502mpi with a 6" rise.

Brad

I may be able to get you Tom's number if you want to call him about the motor, Did you get it ftom him directly? I would think its fine, it only had 70hrs or less on it.

How Crazy is it that I bought that boat in an auction in California and you bought that motor from ? and they both end up in Richmond?

Small world brother!! I have Toms number, he seemed to be a very honest guy. Just checking to see if you knew of any problems it had.

Tom was running a Xr behind the motor, but that superboat on weighs like 3500lbs or so right? I have a 5800lb Formula and I am scared of the B1 and Xr behind that much power. Your thoughts....

Brad

Brad, Monty has a sales paper that had some stock Merc Exhaust that you may be looking for, give him a call, good price

Will do, I am still stuck in the sand pit in the middle east!!:lolhit:

It is not looking good for getting anything done right now.:angry-smiley-038:

I am hoping to get in the water sometime this year.
