1973 360 Rebuild
Since this is along the same line, I figured this was a good place to ask. Can anybody here recommend a good shop in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area? I have a 340 that was disasssembled years back & the block has some rust in it. It will need cleaned, bored, etc. I want deck plates used when it's honed, if the mains need honed I'll want that done too. I'll want it balanced. All of the usual stuff for a good rebuild. Sioux Falls is a little over 100 miles from me but that is doable for a good job, especially if it's just one trip out & another to bring it home. The last shop I had do an engine Jeep) told me repeatedly that it would be ready & I made several trips, 60 miles each way, & had to stay on them just to get things done.
Another question. If there isn't somebody close, is there a reputable shop that somebody can recommend that I could send my parts to & trust to do what is needed & send them back? Somebody that I don't have to hold their hand to make sure they're doing what I need done? I figure I'd probably pay at least $100+ in shipping, but I'd pay close to that in gas driving back & forth.
