Default Engine assembly

Who would be the best recommended to assemble a experimental 4cyl alum Pontiac race motor in Pa or surrounding area. It will be a Blown alcohol sand drag motor. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Rusty

Spotts is a good choice. Richie Hoffman in Coram New York would be worth the drive.

I also think Paul Spotts would be a good phone call to make. Pontiac specialist with blown alcohol experience, in PA, and a heck of a nice guy.
