I am asking for a friend , but if there is one out there , I figured one of youse would know.
It is for a basic rebuild on a Bow Tie , so it doesn't have to be MoPar guru.......just competent and honest would fit the bill.

I'd be curious who's a good Mopar shop around Tampa/Ocala as well.

If I get some money to have my Hemi machined, I'll be taking it to Robert Fulco in Lutz. My friend Stewart turned me on to Robert. He had an R3/W8 engine in there the last time I was down in the bay area.

That R3/W8 "was" Lee Saunders' engine that Fulco built. Saunders decided he didn't want the motor after it was built, so Fulco got stuck with it. I heard it can be had for around 80k.

I live in Tampa, and I decided it was worth the drive to Delray Beach to Performance Only. Dan's reputation is impeccable, and he's a hell of a nice guy to deal with, too.
