Do a search fellow PY'r is Dan Barton he is in Houston. He knows his stuff.
Also USA Racing Engines on Dillon Street in Houston. Contact Chris or Bruce 713-645-4000. Also PM skip fix as he lives on the west side of Houston and he knows a lot of engine builders down there. |

You might call the guys over at Westside Performance and Machine. (713) 465-7996
They did all the machine work on my 462. I've been real happy with the results and the pricing was reasonable and the turn-around time was as well.

Lots of choices here in Houston and lots of opinions on those choices
Dan Barton has left Westside and gone to Naiser racing still doing heads. They can do engine work there also-leaning towards race type motors(sheet metal intakes aluminum blocks all over the place(I did get them a Pontiac block for mock ups). http://www.naiser-racing.com/ Westside has done some work for me,dynoed two motors there. G&G up in Tomball has done work for me for years Pontiac stock blocks and my IA, and my 409/470 final work. I know local Pontiac guys who have had issues with both, but others with good results. USA racing is another some of the Texas Pontiac racers have used-the Clegg's(Super Stock racers) over in Victoria use them for their Pontiac motors but Nickens for the big corporate BBC style motor in John's car. http://www.nickensracing.com/ Another shop down in Pearland some of the guys have used, as well as Faerman's on Pinemont.

I helped Russell remove an engine that G&G had to rebuild twice because of poor workmanship.
My last and only engine that G&G did was not align-bored properly and resulted in my having to source and buy a replacement block along with another set of billet main caps. |

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.
that's a dirt road...
