Auburndale Machine on Southside drive Louisville I have had a number of engines machined there and always right on. They are also Mopar guys and may be the only Mopar guys with a machine shop in a sea of Chevy and Ford guys in the area.
I used to spend a lot of time at the Naval Gun facility right up the street from there and would bring engines from Minnesota there to get machined.

Don't think because you have a Mopar, you need to go to a Mopar "guy", that is ridiculous, plus limits your options And here comes the 'Brand X' intervention... Again... Insulting the Mopar world... Again... On a MOPAR website...

Don't think because you have a Mopar, you need to go to a Mopar "guy", that is ridiculous, plus limits your options And here comes the 'Brand X' intervention... Again... Insulting the Mopar world... Again... On a MOPAR website... You are out of your mind and living in the past. A few years ago, would anybody have ever considered Wescott or Reher-Morrison, "Mopar" guys? Of course not, but they were considered some of the BEST "Chevy" guys in the world. But now, Wescott is considered a HEMI god and RM also builds some of the best AH motors on the planet. If you know how to make power and do proper machine work, what is scrawled on the valve cover makes ZERO difference...........So would you rather take your motor to someone who is proven to do good work, or some guy down the street, just because he is rumored to be a Mopar guy. I have one of the better known "MOPAR guys" shops, not 45 minutes from my house. I wouldn't let them do a lawn mower engine for me, because I have seen the type work they turn out. Also about the same distance is a shop owned by a guy who used to do Gary Browns NHRA Pro-Stock Chevy motors. He does beautiful, flawless work.......THAT is where I go. We also have a guy here who owns a shop, that is a 8 time IHRA Modified Eliminator World Champion. I could care less that those cars were Chevy's. He KNOWS how to make power. Somebody above mentioned BES. Bischoff is FAR from a MOPAR guy. Why are you not calling THAT poster out, like you did me................Oh, forgot. Bischoff won Engine Masters with a Mopar, so now I guess he is a "Mopar guy". Some need to take their heads out of the sand

You do NOTHING but insult the Mopar world here...
I've seen you talk jack about Mopar suspensions...
And trans...
And engine builders...
Your 'comments' about engine builders is a slap in the face to the legions of those who deal in just Chrysler...
I really don't care about your experience with the 'Mopar guy' you dealt with...
One experience has ZERO bearing on the industry as a whole...
You come in here and chant rah-rah-rah about Chevrolet incessantly...
So tiring...
And redundant...
And very unprofessional...
You may THINK it, but probably not very prudent to broadcast it to the many Mopar people here...
On a MOPAR web-site...
There are some Mopar engine wizards here in these parts...
More than one...
They've left their mark...
And have legions of customers...
I'll be they would just be thrilled to have someone tell them about how 'ridiculous', and 'stupidest thing I've ever heard of' when it comes to their choice in taking a Chrysler engine to a Chrysler engine builder... As far as "insulting" the Mopar world.........your are an......well never mind, but I have a pretty good suspicion that I have done the Mopar world way more proud in my career than you ever have. And one more thing, I DID NOT SAY, it was stupid to take a Mopar to a Mopar only guy.........I said it was crazy to think you HAD to. How about READ what I said, before inserting foot in mouth Also notice you made no comments about Wescott or Reher-Morrison or BES. So should we, or should we not use someone like that, since they don't qualify as Mopar specific shops?

Doug!! Keep us posted on the build! Your car looks great! And Monte...don't pay attention to that other comment. In todays' world,if a shop was Mopar only,I think the owner and his employees would go hungry or broke. I am sure some may be better than others. I am sure Doug will find a good shop. Some Mopar guys have to stop living in fantasy land.
