If a guy (me) wanted a Hemi short block machined and assembled using K1 and Diamond parts, is there any shop in particular who could do this relatively quickly and without screwing it up? I have the block, they would need to vend the other parts to me in addition to the work.

Most anyone who builds high performance engines should be able to handle that work for you. Should be plenty of local shops who can do that for you.

What is Dram?

I don't trust anyone in Houston to assemble a Hemi without screwing it up. No one I am aware of, anyway.

There have to be LOTS of shops in and around the Houston area ..

One that comes to mind is the Nickens Bros. They have raced some big-time fast cars ...and once had a Mopar Pro Stock big$$$ sponsor deal.

Give me a call if you'd like to talk about your needs. we can supply any parts, machine work and assembly necessary. we also have some specials going on you'll likely be very interested in.
561-758-6604
all of our block work is done on our 4 axis CNC machining center along with our Rottler HP-6 diamond cylinder honing machine. we have full in house machining capabilities.
you can check with the guy's above that recommended me if you need any references.

by the way, so i don't single one of you guys out, if you happen to be waiting on your complete engine, it should be at your place monday or tuesday according to the trucking company. thank you for your business.
