I do believe one of them races a newer Challenger, If I have to, i can ask them what shop they use. Right now I'm building a mild LA 360, with magnum heads. But I have a 440 that I wanted to put a stroker kit in, and I've never built a stroker before. Thats why I wanted to find a shop that knows/built chryslers. thanks for the info and time! very much appreciated. NO!!

He uses Indy Cylinder Head for his engines in the Challenger and the Wagon. With that being said, I would use Dale Meers in Buffalo, Ky or Kammer/Kammer in Dayton, Oh if you are not looking to travel too far. If you are, there are plenty of other Mopar machine shops to choose from. Jeff Day Precision Automotive Machine Canton, Ohio

He is a mopar guy himself but will work on anything that comes in the door. He is in Bowling Green Ohio which is 20 miles south of Toledo. If you are interested pm me and I will give you his info. He was just mentioned on hot rod tv for doing the machine work on a 500 caddy motor. He is doing a 500 mopar now as we speak. My 500 made 771hp with a solid cam and nothing fancy. David

He has a dyno in house and has been honest with anything I have ever taken there. If you want the number let me know. I dont think you would be dissapointed with anything that came out of his shop.

If they have a Dyno that would be a plus, even if you don't choose to use the dyno it would show the shops seriousness about performance. 7227421-0507121951a[1].jpg (282 downloads)
