Looking for an engine builder in northeast.

[w650gb500]

I recently bought an old race car that had a “built” 2276 in it. The car had been stored for many years and the engine will need a good going through. I have all of the spec’s for the pieces/parts that were used in this build. I’m looking for a reputable shop to take the engine apart, inspect/verify all of the pieces/parts inside and rebuild it to its former glory. I don’t know what that former glory was, but whatever it is, it is, I just wanted it freshened so I can decide what I will be using it in.

I’m located in northeast PA, but don’t mind driving a few hours to find a good engine builder.

Thanks,

Dan

Which old Racecar did you get? I remember many NE cars and always wondered where they all ended up.
And second NSracing.

It’s not a drag car, it was built and used for hillclimbs here in PA. It’s a Bradley kit car body on an IRS chassis. I just bought it for the engine/trans and plan on selling the rear.

Since I know everyone likes pictures, here’s a few.

You can bring that down to me and I will help you overhaul it. Probably just needs cleaning and a fresh valve/seat grind. I just cleaned out my jetwasher other day - surprised how much muck was in there.

I have to make a trip down to TX to deliver a mill and flywheel grinder. I am upgrading to a different milling machine this summer.

The dynamic balancer is down for few days -waiting on fresh batteries.

Overhauls I can handle. But had to turn down 3 engine jobs this month coz they are from scratch and lots of machining. I cannot take a job like that if I don't have a mill running. Maybe later in the year I can.

I have VanNorman boring bar on stand as backup -in case. But I will limit the bore work to cases only.

Only thing w/ your engine - will probably need to recheck the rocker geometry. Possibly cut fresh pushrods if geometry is not perfect.

YOu can PM me.

That Bradley is pretty cool and was probably a blast to race.

The car does look like an SCCA racer in modified. Them tires are not for hill-climbs.

Barry Goldwater had a Bradley GT. I think it was metalflake red.
