Are there any reputable machine shops in the Sacramento area to build a 4V out of a 99 Cobra? I can get all of the parts I just need someone that can do the machine work and possibly the assembly.

I will keep you in mind when I get to that point.

I have spoken with these guys and so far, they seem to be number 1 on the list! I was just curious if anyone has any experience with them working on a Modular Engine?

I always use Morgans out my way in walnut creek, He is very through with them, not cheep but you get what you pay for. He specializes in a lot of early exotic engines. So lots of ferrari and mazeratti etc stuff I'm there. I always like to see stuff like that in a machine shop that is un replaceable. But they are slow to get your stuff back to you too. And a bit expensive. And yes the last several engines I have built have been 4v 4.6. So he has experience

There are two people you never want to rush....Machinsts and Dentists. Doing so will give you shotty work...and a headache! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
If you're not stuck on building your original shortblock, find a core shortblock and send it out to be built...or buy a built shortblock and swap your items over.
