Machine Shop in S.E. Michigan?
 
I need to get my Edelbrock heads milled to reduce the chamber size 8cc and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good reputable machine shop near Detroit? I've called a few places and they want around $800 to do the deck and intake surffaces 0.040"!

Thanks. I did call them actually. They seem ok. The only issue is all the terrible reviews of being money grabbers. I'm worried about dropping off a $6000 set of wide port new edelbrocks and having someone hold them hostage unless I pay whatever their final number is. Nobody will even give me a ball park estimate expet for Holbrook who wants $800! This is basic milling and most reputable places I normally deal with have a fixed cost or least an estimate for that!

There used to be an engine builder on 12 mile in Berkley. Can’t think of t.
Booth Arron’s maybe.

Thanka. I used to use Booth Aarons in the 90s and they were good. They have been gone for a long time unfortunately.

Slept through that - they were only a few miles from my house.

The sign on the front would be an incredible piece today!

Thanks! Good to know. He seems to have some nice equipment.

indymanjoe 08-20-2024 07:56 PM

He's a great machinist but no Pontiac building experience.

indymanjoe 08-20-2024 07:58 PM

And yes he has done work for me.
