mbendle wroteSteve's automotive recommended a guy named "Gary" who does work at his shop. I imagine you've got a machinist that you trust... Who do you recommend?
By the way...I'm going to hone the questionable cylinder tomorrow, and if I can't see a problem, I'll take a manifold off your hands. It looks like you're running a holiday sale! $130, right?
Hey Mike,
Let me know how the honing goes. I would recommend my long-time AMC buddy Rick Jones, who helped build and break-in my 304 stroker. Rick has built over 50 AMC engines and knows how to do it RIGHT. Rick is in Blissfield, MI, down near Toledo. It's a couple hour drive, but worth it IMHO.
I just sold the Performer intake yesterday, so I currently am all out. I may be picking up another one, so if I do, I'll let you know.
You can find more information about Rick, his engine builds, and his contact information at http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=95928
Rick currently has a mildly built 360 for sale, as well as a nicely built 390 that is set up for any transmission and was originally built to go into a Jeep CJ7.
