who builds the best pontiac?
 

Out of curiousity, who builds the best Pontiac? I've heard BF builds the worst...lol. I'm talking about customer service, friendiness, honesty, as well as quality of work done. It seems that machine shops in my area are very sneaky, dishonest, and won't give up answers freely.

Also, how do KRE and Butler compare with everyone else?

Any "true stories" of from dealing with these 2 mentioned above, or for that matter, any other good/bad Pontiac machinist/engine builder?

A lot of the guys ibn my club have Butler stroker engines and they are all very happy with the way they run. I do NOT have 1st hand experience with any...yet

kre has always done good by me,your in ohio give jeff a call.dave

I could say me.:D Seriously, what are you wanting powerwise?

Jim Butler built my motor back in 1994. Still runs great. No problems at all.

KRE - Great engine. Excellent service and always helped me when I had question. Jeff Kauffman is who I dealt with.

I have only experience with KRE. Great powerful engine.
Spott's perf. is a good builder also, But I have only bought parts from him, not a whole engine.

There are actually a bunch of good guy's.
From what I have read that "Rock in roll" guy is shady....

I just picked up a complete new engine from Kauffman Racing and had them do the dyno. They were very helpful, answered all of my questions during the build and continue to support after the purchase.

I have also purchased engine parts from them over the past few years and had great results. Some of our club members have purchased High Ports and D Ports from them and are happy with their results too.

Feel free to call me if you would like more info.

If you want the best...then go to BES- Bischoff Engine Service

I've been treated well by KRE, Tin Indian and the Hillard's


If i was going to build a motor right now (will soon), the Hillard's on this board would get my business.
They're ridiculously friendly/nice and some of the most honest people i've met lately. They happen to be in Ohio as well - which helps tremendously.

I am just curious, I found a site called www.hiperformer.com which the company is called S and S Engine Rebuild or something like that. I like that they offer a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty but they kind of seem like the wal mart of engine builders. Has anyone used them? Do they do a quality job?

Also anyone know of good ones close to Kansas?

Thanks

Best Pontiac engine builder............
 

Me, but then I only work for myself. What other old retired guy is going to take the time to triple-check every torque and adjustment :D ?

Try Greg Merrick in Colorado-http://www.pontiacengines.net/ Offers a warrantee even on racing engines.

My 440 from Greg Merrick-
 

The chick does not belong to me-just the motor.

fasteddy, you just don't want some of the others on here jealous.;)

who is reasonable prised? just something mild so i dont spend out a lot on gas and have to tune it all the time. I want to run low 12s and beat any mustang or honda and I dont want to spend more than about 2thousand

If thats all your looking to do,you can build that motor yourself in your sleep.

Years ago my 455 ran 12.01 all day;nothing crazy either:
455
no. 13 heads,un ported
246/253 hydraulic cam
3.89 gears.

Good luck,Mark.

BVR, a lot will depend on what you have to start with. If you go out and buy a 455 block, a set of #13 heads, etc. etc. you won't be able to buy the parts for 2 grand. To bore, hone, zero-deck, mill heads, valve job, balance, etc., etc, (again, could depend on condition of parts you're starting with) expect to spend anywhere from $800 to $1500 in machine work.


BTW, I have to agree with Baron. :D
