Anyone know anything about MPG racing engines (machine shop) in northern Chicago area?
I've been talking to Rick there about doing the work on my 428 (block & heads). He seems knowledgeable about the particulars, but he only does 8-10 Pontiacs a year. He mostly sees Chevys & Fords. Any insight or recommendations is appreciated.

call up midwest engine tech out of mokena.
All they do is high performance engine rebuilds. They don't do a lot of pontiac but they really know their stuff. Built a 462 for me with 670 heads made 615 hp. super guys, off I-80 and Harlem. Ask for scott, Don't have there # handy. Good Luck Tom Syron |

Scott & I had a discussion about his name and evidently it is actually Eric. I know him by Rick and that was what I was calling him (& he was answering to the same) on the phone when I was discussing my plans for my engine machining & assembly.
He does seem quite knowlegable about Pontiac's & engine blueprinting. My main concern id that he addmitadly "farms" some of the work out. Specifically the balancing. I do plan on paying him a visit to see his shop and discuss this further. I will be having the short block done as soon as I get a new set of D-port heads from Dave @ SD. Suppose to be my X-mas present, I think? I've been a very BAD BOY! If you know what I mean.

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.
