Mayolives Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I am in the process of building a turbo engine with an F54 block and a P90 head. After searching/reading many good pages of information on this site, my game plan is to have 300RWH. I have talked with Rebello Racing and Sunbelt Performance about doing the headwork. I'm sure that both shops can do a real good job but both are very expensive. Can anyone recommend other shops that I could talk with that do good work and might be less expensive? I live in South Carolina and I would like to use a shop in the Southeast. Thanks for any light you can shed on the subject. .....mayolives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Automotive machine work, and especially "performance" machine work, is one of those things that truly is a "you get what you pay for" proposition (and I'll add- "and sometimes you get even less"). Those that really do know how to make additional horsepower have paid the development money to get there, and expect (and deserve) to get it in return. Get a second mortgage and go Sunbelt. IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Not to take business away from Sunbelt or Rebello, but if you're shooting for 300 at the wheels on a turbo engine you don't need a lot of headwork. Some port cleanup, port matching of the intake and exhaust manifolds, multi-angle valve job, and a .490 to .500 lift, medium duration cam should get you there. Your time and money would probably be better spent on an engine management system, turbo, intercooler, and plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
