datz280 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hello all, I have just brought home an 82 turbo to put in my 77 . I am looking for a shop in the SF bay area to do a rebuild. All I am looking for is a basic rebuild, someone who will check the cylinder bores, flatness of the head and block, and make sure the crank is straight and give it a polish. The only upgrade to the internals I am looking for is shot peening the rods, instilling forged pistons, and balancing the rotating assembly and reassemble with ARP hardware. The only place that would talk to me was Rebello. Labor was going to be in the $800 range. I would need to supply the bearings, pistons, head gasket, etc. My goal is to upgrade the fuel rail and injectors, use the hy35 holset, and mega squirt and spark. In the future I would plan on changing the cam to the Isky some people are using. I have not seen any posts recommending a machine shop (I saw the body shop referral list) Any recommendations on a shop that you know of or have used that is clean and competent in the area would be appreciated.

randy 77zt Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 if rebello quoted $800 for that he must have been in a good mood that day.engine probably just needs a bottle brush hone and some rings and bearings if it was sitting for awhile.

Mack510 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I've been using Rob's machine shop in Hayward on a few L16-L18 engines and also had some head work done on various datsun motors and my toyota 4 Runner heads. They do really good work, and can build/do what ever you want from cheap and simple to complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
