I think it was here on FABO that I saw mention of a few machine shops, one of which included Moonshine Speed Shop.
Just south of Greensboro NC, they are a bit far from me, but I wanted to check them out because I wasn’t thrilled with the look of the shop near me. Super nice folks, took time to show me around, and get the shop mascot comfortable too.
They decked the block and I told them I would prefer my cylinders cleaned up rather than just bored to a standard size. He said they looked good, but there were a couple a few thousandths over. Cleanup dictated that I’ll need to get custom .005 over pistons. I had them install my cam bearings and a new oil pump bushing. He did a test fit with a stock cam to make sure there was no binding. He said he went ahead and chamfered all my holes for me as well.
I won’t be able to actually check their work, I don’t have all the measurement tools and such, but the level of professionalism and look and heritage of the shop makes me comfortable enough that I made a good choice. Going to cruise down there Saturday to pick it up.
