Default Looking for a N.California Engine Guru

Hey all,
I am looking for a engine shop with experience with blown big blocks. I have a '74 with a 509 w/871, that needs to be put back together and tuned.

I am in the Bay Area and not having any luck in locating a shop.


Any ideas.......Thanks!

Hey, I talked with'em today. He is very cool, I'll check out the shop but I don't see any reason that I won't take my vette there.

Thanks for the info!

The link to the web site is above. I think he is by appointment only. Just give him a call or e-mail. Arron is cool and no-nonsense. Just check out the web-site. Lot's of good info. If your in Novato you can probably hear the engines reving from there. LOL

Man your a stones throw from Infineon. I ran there the first time in August and it is great. When you get her sorted out you should try it.
Good luck!
