Last 340 had done was Charlie Greco Racing in Oaks Pa. But that was some 15+ years ago.

If their ricer dies they just buy another one. You might try calling a local napa and see if they can give you any places. I did a web search not to long ago to see who was still around me.

You're quite ignorant. I'm pretty sure you would be humbled very quickly if you chose to look into that further. Anyways, I travel PA for work, and I can tell you the machining industry is live and well here. Lots of heavy duty, ag, and semi stuff. The Amish and Mennonite families that have businesses have lots of their kids working for them, and they in turn either take over the operation or open up their own doing the same thing. However, when it comes to speed shop type rebuilders, I have noticed a few disappear over the years.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

It's because "youngins" skip the traditional archaic machining processes of engine rebuilding and are running 5 axis machines, SLA, DMLS, and other more cutting edge machining operations. These types of operations aren't worried about decking a BB for a few hundred bucks, they're making parts for big industries for big big $
