Default Engine machine work near Wilm. De.

Looking for a reference for a reputable machine shop 50 miles or so of Wilmington Delaware. My go to guy passed a couple years ago. Pontiac friendly would be a huge plus. Thanks

I thought Paul only did complete original motors now or something like that??
He would definitely be my choice.

I'd contact him. If he can't do it, he may recommend somebody else in your area.

i use Speed Equipment Corp in Bensalem PA 215-638-0300. They have done my engines since 1983. Have done many Pontiacs including 3 of my IA racing engines. Jim runs the machine shop. Pricing is good.

Bill, Do you know Dale Crouch? He built my 400, and is an avid drag racer. He owns a couple of service shops. I dont think he machines but I am sure he knows a good guy as he is constantly building motors for both race and street. PM and I can give you his info. Located in North East MD.
