Re: sac area machine shop?
Really depends on what you want done.
Overall good machinist with a performance bent, Nathon at Horse Power by Gerolomy. Carmichael
Good old time machinist, Bud at Walmers machine. Orangevale
Good work if you can put up with the attitude, Don at Motor Machine. Carmichael
Just basic work, Dave at Mothers automotive. Fair Oaks.
The hidden gem, Jerry at Prentis Enterprizes. Rancho Cordova
Can not recommend any shops in Rocklin or Roseville.
Tell them Mike Dobson that used to work at Motorwarehouse sent you.

Re: sac area machine shop?
I'm probably going to get my stroker kit balanced at Motor Machine Warehouse. A co-worker just had a 540 built there and he's happy with it so far.SOLD: 1975 Ford Bronco: 105" wheelbase, King 14" c/o shocks, King 2" air bumps w/ Duff arms, 4 link rear w/ coils. Fuel injected 408W, ZF 5 speed/Atlas II(4.3) and Dana 60/70 axles with 5.13 gears and ARB's, 41.5/13.5R17 Pitbull Rockers on 17" Raceline Monsters.

Re: sac area machine shop?
If I wanted to get a 351W block hot-tanked and inspected, cam bearings installed, possibly bored and decked, and get a rotating assembly balanced, which of those listed would be the best choice? Or are there others? I'm not opposed to driving the thing to the bay area to make sure it's done right, etc.1970, Exploder 5.0 with P heads, EEC-IV EDIS, lots of wiring.

Re: sac area machine shop?
You don't need to go to the bay area for basic block work. Any of the mentioned shops can do it. A few more good shops in the area that do good block work are Dels Machine off of El Camino and Albatross, and Parrish Automotive in North Highlands.
Where do live Lars?Maybe I can recommend one closer.

[QUOTE=Lars;148639]I'm in Davis. Any advice appreciated!
Sorry Lars, I haven't been around in a while. Davis doesn't allow dirty businesses like machine shops in their city. You can come to Sac. or the Napa store in Vacaville has had a pretty decent shop in the past. I believe it is on Mason st.

Re: sac area machine shop?
Horsepower by Gerolomy in Carmichael is now Performance Engines, the owner's name is Rich. That's where I had my stroker rotating assembly balanced. He is definitely a perfectionist, but seems like a pretty good guy and he's fair. IIRC he charges $75 to disassemble, hot tank and inspect a set of heads.SOLD: 1975 Ford Bronco: 105" wheelbase, King 14" c/o shocks, King 2" air bumps w/ Duff arms, 4 link rear w/ coils.
