Seattle Area Engine Machining and Builders?
 
The engine I have needs a complete rebuild. Hasn't run for years since before I bought the car with it. Cylinder boring, main honing, all that good stuff. As much as I'd like to do all the wrench turning I think the short block would be best assembled by a professional. I can and have done head gaskets and other maintenance on other engines but bearing clearances are outside my skill set. I would prefer to support local Mom and Pop machine shops but I'm not sure they are a good choice for me. I have read Rocky Rotella's book on engine rebuilding and I'm hesitant to give a shop an engine they're not familiar with, so I'm willing to drive a few hours to work with a good place. The nearest big place is Action Machine, but is there different place that anyone would recommend?

There is someone in Tacoma that does Pontiac engines. He currently has a 455 and a 400 for sale on Craigslist in the auto parts section. He appears to do good work with quality parts. I know nothing about him, and have only seen the CL ads for motors and heads. The number in the ads is (253) 677-2821. As I said, I personally know nothing about him.
