Recommended machine shop/engine builders in Arizona?
I have a big block engine project that needs to get started one of these days. Are there any reputable shops in the Phoenix or Northern Arizona areas that come highly recommended for machining, balancing, sleeving and building services? The plans are for a stock to mild rebuild on a 428 CJ. that's able to stand up to the Arizona heat, and of course having AC.

If you don't find anyone satisfactory in the PHX area, Larry's Speed and Marine here in Tucson has huge experience. Total machine shop services too.
No, it's not my shop! Larry |
Levy racing built my engine. He is in Maricopa AZ. My car runs great. He has a website, just google Levy Racing. He always answers his phone or gets back to you via email in minutes.

Ask Danr55, he's sure had a lot of engines built and rebuilt.

If you want an FE motor built in Arizona, no one is better than Standard Machine in Glendale...
Standard Machine 5636 N 53rd AveGlendale, AZ 85301 (623) 939-1431 |
I can vouch for Standard Machine. I have known the owner, Roger Lorton for over 20 years and he is top notch. He builds high performance motors and knows what it takes to make them live.

I have used standard machine, don't try to call they wont answer just drive down there to see them in person...

Can you contribute a bit more on Levy? Just wondering why you said that.

Agreed, I have nothing to do with the business in question, I just don't like when people make comments like ChiChris made. Not looking to stir things up, or argue, just say facts.

Where's Drduc when you need him?
I've heard nothing but good about standard machine but I hear they are very busy. |
Dan the good shops are usually very busy.

Dave, also talk to Fitz and the results of his dyno run.

Sure, PM me on why one should be careful dealing w/Levy.
More than happy to provide the facts. |
Who's facts.. Yours?
Every shop has it's share of issues and possibly bad customers. No shop can and ever will be 100% perfect and customers will never be 100% right. Mike |
Well said Car Nut.
