Re: 350/NH Del - I'll see if I can dig up his number for you. He's an easy guy to work with. I went up to Whitney Point (Lisle technically) yesterday to check out that machine shop. WOW!!! I don't think I've been in a shop that nice, with equipment that good, since I was at Sonny's Automotive Racing in VA!!!:bglasses: :TU: Brand spanking new building, new Sunnen machines, epoxied floors, etc.!! Very impressive!!!:beer :TU: He does flowbench work, sonic testing, porting from mild to wild, you name it!! Equally important - he knows how to use the equipment too!!:Brow: :TU: Since you're Parts Mgr. at a Mopar store, you would have LOVED to have seen some of the Mopar stuff he had in the shop!!:bglasses: :TU: DC W-series blocks and heads, Indy cylinder heads & intakes, some Ray Barton stuff, etc. His name is Jeff Finch. We had a good talk, lengthy too.:grin: He has a similar attitude about machine work as I do....take the time to do it right the first time!!!:Smarty: :TU: He's a real stickler for details, as am I. We got to talking about your Buick 350" heads and other 'non-adjustable' stuff in general. He's definitely someone you can trust to PROPERLY do a set of Buick or any other set of heads!!! I wholeheartedly recommend this shop to anyone on board!!!!:Smarty: :TU: :bglasses: They recently did a set of 401" nailhead heads for a Broome Co. Sheriff down here, for his 60's Riv. He thought they're a 'neat head'!!:grin: **He was also real interested in whatever your Mopar connections are!!:TU: I suggest giving him a call ASAP. He's hoping it can be a mutually beneficial arrangement!! Just let him know you're from Unadilla and know me from V8Buick.com - that will jog his memory!!:Brow: :grin: My friend is interested in the KB cam. He wants me to ask if you're solid on the price....I knew that was coming!!:laugh: Need to see if we can arrange some time to come up your way and check out your Buick 'inventory' and to pick up the cam. Shoot me your ph. # again, if you don't mind. **Here is the name of the shop, for all that may be interested!!** Pro Flow Machine Shop - Jeff Finch 3124 Route 11 Lisle, NY 13797 (607) 692-7475 Thanks,
