Watt's shop

[mk5.0]

He usually has a waiting list. Maybe that's why?

So do the other good machine shops in the DFW area.

Maybe I will just swing by and talk to him, beg him to take my money.

You can't go wrong with M&Ss, and everybody is backed up during racing season. Watt has moved up his builds and like someone else said, he is going where the money is at. I tried to get him to build my 4v back in 2003, it was going to be two months or some shit. I went to KCRE and I had in back in a few weeks and it was delivered on a freight truck. It's still working too.

Yeah, I am pretty much set on M&S at this point.

Did you call Wells or arlington machine?

x2 on Dennis Wells

He built a stout 388 SBC for my buddy's Luv truck years ago and it's rock solid. After many passes and two transmissions later.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on Wells, they told me 3 day turnaround, I figured there was a reason for that.

They got a bad rep a few years back, due to their attitude, mostly. I didnt go there for years, then I heard they hired a machinist that was one of the best, and changed their attitude once everyone quit using them.

Last couple times Ive used them, they did a good job and were done when they said they would be.

Good info, thank you sir!

He probably doesn't want people crying to him when they push the limits of a stock block too far. Can't say I blame him.

You mean my stock block won't hold 1200hp???

[Tremor14]

only if you let 91coupemike pic the parts that go in it.

I'm another one that has used Dennis Wells on & off for a long time, and I've never had any issues at all, however I never really had him assemble anything b/c I've done all of my own assembly for at least the last ~15 years. He used to have a guy named David that did good work on heads too....not sure if he's still there though.

What about Max Long (LRE)? I haven't heard anything about him in a while, but I've known several folks that used him over the years with good luck.

The last few times I've needed some machine work I've just gone up to Calverts b/c it's fairly close, and I've known Wayne for a long long time. He actually does some of the work still, but he's getting pretty old and rickety. Now-a-days I usually just talk to his son, Randy....but again, they just do machine work for me....I do the assembly myself.

At that power level the motor will last, if you keep rpms below 1500.
