I'm driving from Santa Barbara, CA to Big Bear Lake, CA (101 to 210) on Thursday and would love to scope out some engine builders along the way. I'll be driving from SB to Newport in a week as well, so basically any shops in LA I should be able to stop check out. Thanks for the help! Dave ps. right now my plan is an LA based 408 stroker, definitely staying small block but specifics could change. 7847295-cuda.jpg (265 downloads)

Jason has a full service facility including an engine dyno and machine shop. There are a few on this board who will vouch for him. I think there is no better. Just google Pettis Performance.

Good shop also and Little Donnie works there and his stuff flys BUT Pettis is King in my humble opinion and if you call them you`ll see why plus you get a tour of the shop/dyno room and can see all of the photos of some of the fastest cars around. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

He was not a happy camper with his 416 stroker they assembled.
