Looking for professional engine builder/machinist

I think you'll want Brad Van Lant, in Linn Creek, MO to do the work. I don't have his number, but he's the guy I would send it to if I need one built.

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.

I’m just north of you (fort Mohave) and Brian (IMM Machine) built my R3/W8 mill. Luckily it’s an easy drive across the desert to Indio if you set your cruise on felony! It was a long ordeal although no fault of his…. camshaft cores were like hens teeth at the time. Once the build was complete I drove out, picked up the engine, made the 180 mile trek home and put it in the car, then hauled up to Kingman to let Greg (REF Unlimited) build the headers (drop off at 7am, picked up at 3pm…. dude is an artist!!). From there got home, pulled the engine back out and hauled the whole mess back to Indio for a dyno session. Best thing I did was following Brian’s guidance. We had a stack of pretty cool parts and I can still hear him saying…. “ I don’t think you want to work on this all the time”….. it’s been a rock solid mill for many years and at low 9s that’s saying a lot.

I have had great experience with IMM on 3 builds. Brian is super knowledeable and ethical. Plus, I've spent a lot of time with him and have never heard him say a bad word about other shops or people, even when I brought up some problems I have had with others. I highly recommend him.
