hey guys, i live in the north hills, so i want something thats not TOO far out of the way basically i need to have an engine block bored… who does this with good work? how much would i be looking at to have this done? next, i need my flywheel turned in a different car because im putting a clutch in soon, who all around here does that? i have heard that there is a little parts store up on 19 in mccandlass (its right before the subaru dealer heading north on your right hand side) is this true? or are there any other places where i can get this done? once again, what would i be looking at price wise? thanks! ---

Yup, just go in that NAPA and ask for Ray, their actual machine shop is in back of the store. Tell him you talked to Bill and he has my LS1 right now, and im sure it wouldnt hurt if you dropped Brandons name as well, 4.3 Syclone motor. He is a nice guy [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pittsburgh-machine-shops/198722.md?page=2)
