Would you guys trust Compu-Flow to build an engine? I am in the market and they are fairly close.



I trust Nick 100% with all my stuff He does my cylinder head work but I do all of my own assembly work with parts supplied and checked by him.
Here is a cool vid of his personal Max-Wedge car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTdwZLrstPk
He can build some good horsepower

Have you learned to weld yet at least?
We use BGR as well as Bub Whitaker (sp?) at Burtonsville Performance Machine here local. Both are very good.

Build all my own stuff except for my new 605. Gave that to mike at muscle motors because i live in canada and he was the only engine builder to return my call. Plus i heard lots of good things about them.

Bob George Racing, see the way to get him to do it is to hide out behind the hog pen. As soon as you see a spot open up in that sanitary shop you sneek your car in ( He always has so many to work on he won't notice one more) then you sneek it back out !

Id love to put these things together myself for the satisfaction ,but theres gonna be that One detail that i didnt learn in chucks book or saw on moparts that makes me lose oil pressure . I fix
Hvac systems proffessionally , and assemble cars for a hobby. Ill let the proffessionals build my junk so i can enjoy it when im not working. I do change my own oil , head gaskets and adjust my own rocker arms . But theres not enough time in the day . Ive been dialing in my bellhousing on a project for two weeks at 5 minutes at a time each day ... Some otger thing just need to be farmed out..

CompuFlow ----
Nick is a standup guy , didnt see him at carlisle , is he ok ??
He did a great stroker for me thats held up in at least 200 passes or more, and supposedly still spinning.
Competition wedge is practically next door to me , i havent
Done anything but buy a tuning video from him, but his correspondence with a 3o dollar video was excellent, i can imagine its even better with an engine build.
If you can find someone with half a reputation and
Does it himself and returns their calls , thats half the battle.
Its crazy that when youre a builder , you have to be a salesman , and a consultant , all in an 8 hr day. No wonder why these builds take so long sometimes... But its usually worth the wait.
I have a fresh BOb Repine engine thats going in next
I cant wait to finish that project car, Bob is semi retired ex hemi racer that paid attention to detail . Its too bad that people want to slow down when their close to full retirement. He is a talented builder ...


A big name shop that does major production relies on their employees
Who might be texting their girlfriends while checking clearances,- might not be a good choice - unless they have a no question warantee.. But it sucks to yank an engine
Wait for repairs , transport, then reinstall. For some people,
That coukd turn into a year project.

Id refer two more reputable people on a pm basis, but they might be busy , i would consult with them before referring on a post on moparts . Pm for info .. Know someone close to you
Who is reputable.

Midwest Engine Tech, in Mokena, Illinois is my engine builder..

why:..they are straight up, won't lie to you...Honesty is important even if a mistake is made

they have good machinery, know what they are doing, dyno their engines..

will sit and hear what you want exactly and they are NOT arrogant....

if you have a change or want a specific part or parts, they will tell you if they are good or what works...

my 499 is at their shop being created into a pump gas friendly go fast engine...different this go around..
