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? |

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. Dil 818-414-6897

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 -Brandon Last edited by Bedo; 03-28-2007 at 04:14 PM. |

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 ?

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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
