Looking for a shop that does mostly Ford engines around the Chicago area, preferably closer to the south side.
I had my block and internals at Borowski's in Joliet, which is an excellent machine shop, but they specialize in GM stuff, and my block and everything sat there from March of 07 till January of 08 and the did not touch the thing other than shot peening it and magging it, when they originally told me 3-4 weeks to build the complete long block. I know they have lots of bigger things going on there, but my money is real too.
Anyway, looking for somewhere else, price is not mutch of a factor, I just want an excellent shop.
Someone had already reccommended Rich Groh Racing (RGR engines) somewhere in the Chicago area and said they are an excellent shop specializing in Ford engines. They gave me the number and told me I would have to leave a message but they would call me back right away - well I called 3 times in 3 weeks and left a message each time and have yet to hear from anyone there, that just kinda turns me off to the place.
