Well from the sounds of things I got some bad news . My once friend that did the Holley on my car and had the heads redone when I lifted a head years back I’m thinking sold my rods and pistons . I spoke with the guy that runs the machine shop he used to use the guy hasn’t brought him anything since 2022 . I messaged tony asking for my parts back and id take a block elsewhere . The guys response was k , I since haven’t heard from him for 3-4 days meanwhile he met a guy at the track yesterday to lend him some wheels to race .

Dude, that’s unbelievable. Was he supposed to be building a block for you? What parts were you using?

Je forged pistons and some light weight eagle rods about 1700 dollars in maple syrup funds . Yea he was supposed to be having the block machined and doing the assembly for me .

i have had some good shops around hear but after covid
they closed
My good friend worked at the machine shop I’m gonna be using . Few others have used them as well . It’s 4 hr drive for the friends that used them . He’s about 1.5hrs away from me . Just a simple 306 balanced rotating assembly Goona spin 7000rpm with the victor jr heads and intake . I’m finally going to add a flex fuel sensor so I can drive it everywhere again.
