Any shops that specialize in Indy aluminum blocks? I'm putting one together for race only with B1 heads. The shops here in Yakima, WA have such outdated equipment. Thanks for the replies.

Member "Forest" built a 540" indy block, B1 engine.

He's from Tri-Cities. He'll chime in I'm sure with who he used locally.

If you're willing to travel towards Seattle, Action Machine in Shoreline has the nicest equipment and cleanest facility around.

The mopar guys I know including myself go to Johnsons Machine Shop in Olympia. Excellent precise work and the also have dyno.

I really like Buds in Tacoma too, but he's always so backed up I stopped using him
