Can anyone recommend a Machine Shop for engine block / heads in the Chicagoland area? Southwest suburbs preferably, but does not have to be. Not looking for cheap, just the best value for my money. As always, good work for a good price. Thanks in advance for your input,

Check out Rocket Racing, their not in Chicago but in Wisconsin, not too far over the State line.

 

Rocket Racing, not in the Chicagoland area but just over the Wisconsin state line. Very reputable

 

PER in Joliet. Great work done by these guys. https://www.per-race-engines.com/

 

I was going to use Pete a CP Motoworks just over the border in WI, then I found out my house needed a new roof... so the engine build was put on hold.

I communicated with him a few times and he was prompt and professional. I am not a machinist, so I can't comment on his work, but all reviews I've heard have been very good.

Let me see if I can tag Luke for more suggestions. @83hurstguy

 

FX engines in Mokena, IL. Been using them for 17 years now after getting burned at other shops. Not cheap, but cheap work equals **** work.

 

Just saw a video with Troy trepanier[rad rides by troy] helping land speed record and FX help develop ford flathead to do it.

 

They've done several motors for big name cars out of Troy's shop.
