Smile Boston, MA area engine shop

Hi, I've been away from the site for a a while, but spring has sprung and it's time to get to work on the '67 Cutlass. Does anyone recommend a Boston, MA area shop to do a rebuild on my '67 330 C.I. H.O. motor? Both front and rear main seals leak and I know compression isn't where it should be. I figured I'd pull the motor, send it to a shop for a rebuild and mods., then utilize the extra elbow room to rebuild the front end and possibly do power disc brakes while I'm at it (budget-permitting, of course!). Any info. and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Motoring!!! Jim

Thumbs up

ABT Machine in Holliston, MA.

Been there 30+ years.

Top quality work, good pricing, and easy to work with.

They also have an engine dyno too.

Ask for Mike (owner)

I have had 5 engines done by them, and all have been great.

Were any of the engines the 330 H.O. ? If so, any advice on performance upgrades ?

They did 3 BB Chevy engines, and 2 455 Olds engines.

If the car is a cruiser, I would suggest some mild head work, balancing, and good parts.

Custom Automotive Machine in Weymouth did mine. I was very happy with the job they did.
