looking for a place to get a 5.0 rebuilt
i have a 1986 vert that i to make an every day driver out of and i dont want to put a cage in it. that means that it cant run faster then a 14.0 at the track and i dont street race very often. so their is no need to do much to it.
so what im looking for is just a local place to rebuild a motor with high mileage.

Are you building something special or just a run of the mill motor. Panhandle Performance does some awesome work, but they are 'spensive.

my .02 cents....buy a new shortblock from Ford $1300. I seriously doubt you could rebuild an engine for less.

Do it yourself is the best way.
Are you rebuilding a motor with high mileage or did something get destroyed?
Summit sells a complete rebuild kit with forged pistons for $450. The hypereutectic piston kits are $270. Polish the crank, bore the block .30 over and get it magnafluxed for a couple hundred bucks. Put it together in a day.

This is a little off topic so I aplogize but who were the girls in the Saturn when you came out to the meet spot at 301 ?
Tell them I did not appreciate the large burnout ruts in the grass and they need to be more considerate to other peoples property.
Back to the topic at hand call DSS in Chicago for a stout shortblock.

Yeah, I forget not everyone has garage space. Not sure where you live, but there is a little shop in Plant city that I deal with for some machine work and parts. Super Service in the parts store name, Plant City Machine is the shop name. 813-752-6173. I have only used their machine shop services, so I can't vouch for their build ups, but they have always been real straight forward and honest with me on the parts I have purchased.
