Lower End

[95SleeperAcheiva]

Hey Ben,

Do you or are you going to get into doing blocks and lower ends?

I'm looking for another 3400 and I'm going for a complete performance build, you will get the complete upper end job. I'd like to do a punch on the block, line hone, blue-print, and end-to-end balancing. Looking to knife the crank, custom rods, pistons, and doing a freeze bath on the crank. How about it?

Where is Ben going to get all the money to buy the equipment to do that kind of stuff?

I "work" at a machine shop now and am building a motor for a guy right now. I can do all that stuff if you want. I only have ballpark pricing at the moment as we won't know final pricing until its all done. Not sure about a freeze bath for the crank though.

I don't get paid and I don't know how to do everything but I am there every day:P So I am not employed by them but I do some work for them.

Well they hired someone so I no longer do anything there.

[bszopi]

Why didn't they hire you?!?

What does this mean for you, as well as the 60V6 store?

[SappySE107]

Probably because I run my own business and they know im pretty much devoted to it. I am still there quite a bit and do my own stuff no problem but I haven't actually done anything for them in a month. Won't affect anything really. I have been taking notes from their books and writing down tech details for rebuilding. Im about to scan some pages on head and block casting numbers/notes. The head rebuilding book is from 92 though so its all the older stuff.
