has anyone ever shipped their engine out for work?

[DrSmith]

I'm considering pulling the engine and sending it to livernois for better internals. I'd pull it and re-install myself. I have not talked with livernois as of yet. Also, is there a better option on the East coast? I am in Maine.
Thanks all,
Doc

for the money it would cost to have them clean up the block and whatever prep they would have to do then install the internals of your choice it would be better to just buy a new balanced stroker shortblock from them and sell your stocker to offset the cost. OR just purchase the internals and find an engine build in your area.

x2..............seems very sensible what GT-John says

I agree if you're just going to upgrade the internals to forged then it's best if you buy the parts and let a local engine shop install everything.

Thanks gents, I am looking into some local shops. There isn't a lot here in Maine!
