I'd also recommend Brian at Sturdevants on Main Ave. He runs the machine shop there and also does assembly.

Sure, if you wanna go with someone local..... j/k, forgot about him doing V8 applications...always think of him as one of us now....import builder

The first is a guy named Jerry Ericson, he lives in Fargo (or moorhead, I forget where he told me he lived....) he was trained/employed by one of the best engine builders I know (Dick Schulz, more on that later) prior to moving to Fargo. He has all sorts of experience building high performance street/strip V8's. I forget which shop he works for in Moorhead but will try and find out soon. His home number should be in the phone book so I'd try giving him a call if you are serious about having V8 work done.

The second individual is Dick Schulz. By far the best mechanic I have ever met personally. He operates Schulz Engine & Machine in Harvey, ND. Dick has been around racing and v8's his entire life and builds many of the race engines for both dirt oval track and straight line in Western ND. Much of what he does is based on his own experiences in racing. Those of you who follow circle track dirt racing might be familiar w/ his nickname "Grandpa Dick Schulz." He is a super nice guy that has probably forgotten more about building SBC's than the rest of us will ever know. If a trip to harvey (~200 miles) doesn't bother you, I'd STRONGLY recommend his services. Or give him a call @ (701) 324-2573, I'm sure he'd be able to help you w/ any questions you might have.

Why bother with a ram jet 350? Why not save up go a bigger cubed small block built for FI. If you wanted to go FI on the Ram Jet, you would at least need to change the cam, rod lengths, lower the cr (if you plan on making over 8#'s), match a cam to your heads (should be done), replace the weak cast crank, and get rid of those crappy "not good for boost" Hypereutectic pistons. The ram Jet 350 is allready built close to it's limit, and is built mainly for N/A use.

So you are going to rebuild your 350? Thats not the best Idea. If you are going high performance, you should at least bore it to a 355 to clean up the cylinder wall (especially if you are going to be on the juice). Also, I am assuming your 350 is in need of a rebuild, which would give even more reason to NOT slap a bunch of performance part into a 350 block. If you are going to do it, do it right, or do it half asses and run a greater possibility of ruining your engine.

Oh yeah, for a performance rebuild, if you are spending $389.00 I promise you that it will not be much stronger than your engine stock.

Sure, I could throw together and engine to the best of my ability, but if I am going to be purchasing some very expensive internals, I would rather trust a known mechanic with expensive insturments over myself doing a backyard install. If your buying an engine rebuild kit for 389.00, you probably aren't going to be running too much hp, you could get away with doing it yourself.

It is not that hard at all it is actually fun.

For christ sakes, it's a small block chevy. I've assembled countless chevy engines I could do it in my sleep. It would be alot cheaper for you to buy a 40-50 dollar engine stand and borrow/rent a cherrypicker and torque wrench than it would be for you to pay someone to do it. I've noticed that you've done everything else on your engine by yourself like switching heads and intake, why not take it on? It's alot easier to assemble or work on an engine out of a car than in one. And it only takes a little over an hour to pull one out of a car as old an simple as yours. Just my $.02.
