This is the time of year a lot of us start motor projects. I'll be the first to call myself an "amateur" when it comes to engine building. I know enough to be slightly dangerous. Many have asked where a good Mopar machine shop is in their area. Im in that catagory too. I was hoping that the board would start a thread or catagory for recommended machine shops. Obviously some have had good and bad experiences with shops. I think many of us could use a little help in our selection.

comments: The best and only Mopar specific machine shop in my area is Kammer Enterprises. They are pretty well known in stock and I believe superstock racing circles and have treated me well with the work I have had them do for me. They have all the best equipment and as far as machining for race motors I don't think you'll find any better. Also have a great and very informative website.
