Hi,

after having chased down countless issues with my car and visiting 3 mechanics... it looks like it is time for a rebuild on my 371.

I need the names of some reputable and backed by the forum re builders for my olds engine.

Any in the SF Bay area or near by is preferable.

Thanks
Rick

 

Rob's machine shop in Hayward. I researched quite a bit before realizing that most of the shops in the Bay never seen a Olds engine let alone worked on one. Rob Sr. build 2 SBO for me and he knows what he is talking about. They are usually really busy and you might wait 2-3 months for the completion, but believe me you will be happy.
Check out their website www.robsautomachine.com

If you decide to go there tell them Eddie with an Olds sent you
Whatever you do don't go to Clark's in Cupertino.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll give him a call Monday.

How much was your SBO build, roughly?

 

It was about 3k but I had extra stuff done.

 

Man, all of the quotes i've gotten are in the 6500-8k range!

That's awesome, im going to call him ASAP on Monday.

Thanks for the heads up

 

Did you talk to Rob? How did it go?

 

Yea im looking at about 4k. Im currently looking for some better intakes and some more funds. Hopefully i'll have it in there by the end of june.

thanks for the heads up again!

 

Recino's in South San Francisco assembled the short block of my 455. Haven't got it running yet, though.
