So while I have a been running Big Bore 36hp Okrasa in my Split for years. I did just acquire a 1950 Aluminum block from a few weeks before my Split left the factory. I wanted to move the old Okrasa to my Ghia and build another Big Bore Okrasa for the split.

When I built it originally, I used Rimco to do all the machine work. Do they still get thumbs up or are there better shops to send it to?

I am in New England so any shop that has here is a plus but 20 years ago there wasn't so off to Rimco it went.

Thanks for the info.
It seems Blackline racing is currently at the salt flats.
