Looking for machinist/engine builder interested in making changes to an R3 416. Currently 4.040 W2 engine wanting to build a 4.250 W9 engine. Any suggestions? Previously built by IMM engines.
 
Why not have Brian do it again
I would love to have Brian perform the work, he is such a professional. I had already waited a year and got a little impatient with the previous build, I can only assume he is not interested in the project, several emails unanswered.
 
Contact Speedway Motors in Lincoln Ne. If they can't do it they should be able to put you in touch with someone they trust.

Same exact thing. Almost a year, I think he actually forgot he had my block and parts for awhile. Nice enough guy but shitty communication when you’re building a $1X,000 engine. I even started thinking maybe I did something and he didn’t like me. It was weird. Maybe if it was a $20,000+ build you get better service, idk?
I have a friend who has a machine shop in Chula Vista, CA ( Cogswell )and I just sent him a set of heads and an intake to work on. He’s die hard Mopar guy too but couldn’t bush my lifter bores and doesn’t have a dyno so I went to IMM.

Wow, Deja Vu. I felt the same. Had two builds, first was an X block build, broke the block. Then the clock started again with the R3.

Who is IMM? I’m not as knowledgeable as most of the people on this web site. I live in the Lake Havasu (north western corner of Arizona) area and can go North/South/East/West. The guy I used to use here in town retired.

The problem with builds like that, is they are extremely complicated with lots of little nuances to deal with. As a professional engine builder, I would personally not be interested in a build like that, I could literally build 3 or 4 street/strip conventional 408s in the same time frame, and probably make a lot more money.

Thank you for your input. Noted you are not interested.
