Hey I live in Greeley Colorado pri about an hour from you. If you know where Loveland is you should go get a quote from a guy named Jeff at U.S. Automotive Machine. He has built a couple of our motors and is in the process of machining mine right now. I am going to shortblock my own stuff but he will shortblock or long block for you if you would like. He is pretty reasonable I think. He also seems to know our cars pretty well. His number is 970-669-3290 and I believe he is open till 5 M-F. Tell him Andrew Laughlin with the Buick V6 reffered you and that you have a similar project. Than tell him what you would like him to do. He will give free estimates if you bring your stuff to him, good guy. Lemme know what happens and if you need help lemme know I may be able to help you out. He is doing a rebore, complete vavle job, porting polishing exhaust, port matching intake and manifold, grinding crank, pressing pistons, resizing rods, balancing, soft plugs, cam bearings for about 900, I am getting a qoute to do a girdle on monday. I havent got my motor back yet so I will see just how good he is soon but I have heard ALL GREAT things about him and he has a high volume of customers so that means people are coming back (doing 9 motors right now). Call him and see what you think. HTH
