Can anyone recommend a reasonable shop or mechanic to put my 455 together in SOCAL. I bought all the parts and had a mechanic that talked like he was going to do it but a $1000 dollars later and nothing but more talk of how I need to pay him more cash for his time with no warranty because I supplied the “Brand new” top quality parts. The guy is really on drugs or something. I just want my engine put together and installed in my car.
Thanks

 

Where are you at in SOCAL? If anywhere near San Diego, try JBA. J Bittle has people that know how to build an Olds.

 

This guy is a great OLDS man. I have raced with him a few times and is great to talk to. His name is "Art"

My Ford buddy Tom, who lives in Riverside, CA talked to his buddy Richard and he said this, "Have him give Bill Clark a call at Modern Auto Service, in Alhambra. 2350 W. Main St. (626) 281 4772.
It's a family run shop and I've known him for over 46 years."

 

If this is who I think it is, I bought my headers from them at the San Diego swap meet.

 

Dougan's Engine and Machine
