Good to know. I'd drive 2 hours to find a good machinist. All the good ones around here have retired, and the ones left don't know anything but SBC.

You'd think in NASCAR-land there'd be dozens of good automotive machine shops.

I think you just answered your own question...

Actually there are no "production" engines running in NASCAR anyway. When was the last time you saw a Toyota with a pushrod V8? Heck, when was the last time you saw a Ford with a pushrod V8? (Yeah, I know about the new truck motor...)
