454 big block - engine repairs
So my 69 is standing and the motor currently with engineering shop to work on pricing for pistons, bearings, valve guides etc. According to the guys the block, crank, rods are all good - anyone can recommended a 2nd opinion for me in the Cape town area please?
If i have to redo the motor I would like to get the motor done properly and push it to the max HP!
Thanks,
Nico

I'd also get hold of Warren Lotter for a quote on a motor build, he has a great reputation and has build many a V8 and quite a few motors for race cars.He is a member of this forum, look up "Stealth".
In terms of spares, I'd phone Thundersport in Pinetown, very knowledgeable guys and good customer service.

Brandon at All Americans pricing is a lot more favorable than Thundersport. I'm in Durban and I'd rather order my parts from CPT, cheaper even with Timefreight.
