I'd have to go with Mike Chestnut (HorsePower Mike)in middle Tennessee. He's got a good reputation and has built a bunch of 12's.....Big bores, strokers, turbos, etc.

Had no idea....Saw him in Gainesville two months ago and all seemed fine. Going on his past record, I would have went with him for anything I didn't feel comfortable doing. I had recently (6 weeks ago) talked with him about a turbo installation, again no indication he was getting out of engine building.
Thanks for the update and sorry to hear about your engine coming apart.

I dont understand what you mean when you say Mike is retired???
I can give you the name of someone else in TN.... but Id like to hear more details about this "retirement"...since Ive got a newly built motor sitting in my garage from him.

Yea blew i need that info on that guy you know. As of right now I'm gonna let Chris Hill do it. He seems like he's gonna be around a while for me. And he's really a cool guy. Hooked me up the day my motor failed.

Yea, but he's probably way too far away from me. Plus, what would he charge ? Do you have a # ?

Coby Adams is one of the best engine builders there is. Also a very nice guy. Talked to him a few times. Really knows the 12 motor. He would do you an excellent job.

They said about $1075 for labor, if its not too much damage.
Just hope they'll stand behind their work cheese. Cain't afford another 1000mi engine fucking.
