anybody have any suggestions on a reputable engine shop in oklahoma? preferrably in tulsa, but OKC would work if i knew i could rely on the work done. its just so hard to find a shop in tulsa with a reputation that doesnt make me shy away. adn i'll be building a mopar engine, they have some nuances that a fellow would need to be aware of, and any time i talk to someone about the KB 107 pistons i have, and mention that they need a custom grind on the top ring, its not just a standard gap, they react like im speaking in tongues or something, im so afraid its gonna get ground just like any ol ring would, and first time i heat it up itll damage the engine. just so much im wary of, and i need someone that will do a good job, the right way. any advice, experience, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

I had Lucito's over on Mingo (in Tulsa) do a rebuild on my 383. Great work!

well, i talked to wayne, he wont do mine, SUPER nice guy, but hes into the performance build adn doesnt want to build a tame engine, plus he chooses all the parts and dictates the build.
how many miles on that lucito's engine? any trouble? how is he on price and turnaround time?
and is that "ka-ching$$" meaning that's the jackpot? or that itll cost me out the...um....elbow... lol.
