Hey all,
Is anybody on this board from the San Diego area? If so, I'm going to be rebuilding my 440 in the not-too-distant future and I need to find a good Mopar machine shop. I know that Ed Hale Machine has done some good engine work in the past, but with Ed's passing a few years back, I don't know if his son is still running the place and does the same quality work. I hate to take it to just anyone and cross my fingers and hope for the best. I can make a bunch of phone calls and ask for references and if they have torque plates for RB engines, but if I can get info from someone else's experience, that would be helpful.
Also, if anyone knows of a San Diego shop with a flow bench where I can get my heads tested, that would be helpful as well. I have the old Stage IV iron heads that the previous owner did some port work on. They've been rebuilt, but I don't know what the flow is like. That info, obviously, would go a long ways to help me to pick out a good cam.
Thanks!
Greg
