IMO: Price of machining is almost a non-factor. Finding a shop that does great machining is all that matters, to heck with the cost.

it is so hard to find a decent shop.

Could you guys give me a run down on machining prices? I need to know if a perspective shop is in the "ball park" for their work...which I've heard for years,is TOP NOTCH! Dynamic Speed & Marine..in Harrison Twp. Mi. Thanks in advance for your help!
I use "Automotive Machine Shop" based on Art's (From Mancini Racing) recommendation.
Jack did absolutely perfect work on my stroker motor, and for the whole job it was about $1100. That included line boring the mains, boring .030 over, clearancing for a stroker crank, cleaning the block, sonic checking it, and balancing the rotating assembly for me.

I think Dynamic Speed & Marine is still on Jefferson, just north of Selfridge. I used them years ago. They were ok.
There's another place very close to you, Randy. St. Clair Engines in Richmond, on Armada Ridge rd. They do good work as well. One of Best Machine's past lead engine builder / machinist works there. His name is Shawn.
X2 for SCE! Shawn is currently building my new motor. Very honest and friendly and do very good work. For a price comparison look on Automotive Machine's website. They are at the corner of Utica Rd. and Garfield in Fraser.

Another vote for Shawn @ St. Clair Engines...

I've used LSM in Waterford on the last three, only one of the three was my own, they've always treated me right.
Price wise they're always been on par with the other local race shops.
