just looking for any other olds guys in jersey, I am in south river ( exit 9 on the TPKE) in new jersey....

hoping to kick start my restoration after too many years...

 

I race at Raceway Park

 

I'm in Parsippany, right where RT 80 and RT 287 meet, I race at E-town and Island. JKaz

 

cool!!!

any recommendations for a machinist and or engine builder near by??? somebody who knows oldsmobiles?

 

I have a machinist I use thats in Hillside(right where RT78 and the Parkway meet). He is just a machine shop but his attention to detail is top notch. They will build you a motor but I would tell him the clearances you need. I don't think he has a torque plate for boring but I'm sure you could rent one from someone who has one, either on here or ROP. What are your goals? stock rebuild or performance. If you want proformance then your best bet is BTR in Rochester NY. JKaz

 

no not really looking for more performance then a healthy 455 could deliver not for racing anyway, maybe some spirited stoplight action if a stang gt shows up LOL... I am looking more for longevity... Performance machine is in my town but i know nothing about these guys and I have lived here 20 years!!! also eddies valve grinding is real close but I have heard mixed reviews...
