while last night i thought that i just screwed my carb up but i did not
in fact i acctully blew my motor up some what,i think i either spun a
main bearing or i broke a few piston rings in the next week i will know
more once i pull my heads off the car but on the bright side i know have the excuse to build a 11-1compression 331 stroker i want
any one know of a compitant machine shop in the seattle area to magnaflux my block and build my lowere end any sug would be great

Try After Hours Auto in Bellevue. They do a lot of domestics as well as imports. They just did the latest round of mods on my Evo and did great job at reasonable rates.

i ll try calling those places,i talked to a buddy in cali who works at a machine
shop so he gets the parts at discounted prices and i dont have to pay for labor or machining.and hes saying he can build me a 331 stroker with 11-1
comp for around $1000 if that dosent pan out then i might just build it my self unless some one up here dose it for a good price.and in that case im gonna just build it they way i want even if that means i dont get to race till next season

Cope Brothers are in fact Derik Copes brother. The girls are racing in ARCA right now!

If your looking for a local builder Bliss Performance is worth the drive.
