Anyone have a solid engine builder for hemi motor? 572 or bigger. Indy is out of the question.

iagree Same here! No way I could afford to pay someone to do it for me. Did a lot of the machine work myself too.

Marsh Performance in NC...Todd (sasquatch) here on Moparts is good too.

My vote goes to Tim Banning, but all of the people mentioned here are good.

Tim Banning at FHO. Do you have a block already? What is the intended use?

There are several good builders out there. But here is where I'd go.

I just ordered my 572 from Gary Stanton. He did all our motors when we raced Sprint Cars. Never had any issue, he also has blocks, so I went with him.

I didn't need an all out race motor, just a good big cube street/strip motor.

Just had a Hemi built by AJ Casini at BG Racing. They were totally transparent and reasonable about parts and labor and let us check everything every step of the way. No leaks,no BS and the engine dynoed almost exactly what AJ said it would. We could not be more satisfied. Call AJ at 412-216-4727 https://www.facebook.com/bobgeorgeracing/

very much appreciated guys. I will make some calls. Always wanted a hemi, just never had anyone build one or a wedge.

Is there a good hemi head out there?
