Machine shop in MA or RI recommendation? - Competition Diesel.Com

Gorms · 04-02-2020, 05:57 PM

Finally getting around to getting my 98 12v built. I never planned on opening the motor up at all, but figured it is easier to do it on the garage floor than in the truck. For now I only figure on a 351/ht60 compounds (have them) and some 5x14s, or whatever I can get my hands on. Own a set of haisley studs. Motor is bone stock with 300k on it.

Looking for a machine shop in eastern Ma or Rhode island to get the head decked and pedestals machined for studs.

Also any ideas for a ballpark price? Going for budget build here....

Id ask someone at mass diesel who they use. Ive never had issue with the stuff I had them work on.
