  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Good morning everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of a reputable engine builder in North Carolina or VA that is familiar with the Buick block. I've done a little research and have seen a lot of talk about oil mods and I want them done correctly. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you ever find a engine builder? I am looking for one in Virginia (near Roanoke if possible).

    If you want the best quality work done, just pick your builder and ship it.
    Those costs are insignificant in the bigger picture.
