2. a turn key re builder that will return an engine ready to install
3. a machine shop that will do the longblock complete.
4. a machine shop will do everything ready for assembly.

Jacques is right on. What you ask could cost $1,000, or $20,000. Or more, or less.

Many 356 owners in the Pacific Northwest choose Morris Brothers in Murray, Utah. They do an excellent job.

Re: West Coast Engine Rebuild
Jacques - The name of a reputable machine shop that can do a complete longblock would be awesome. Much appreciated.
Ned - Your input is also much appreciated. I will look them up also.
Thanks all!

Hi Jon
Competion Engineering can be coaxed into doing it.
Olies in Lake Havasu does excellent machine work
Motorwerks in National City does complete machine but they have a hard time sourcing parts.
you can call me for a more tailored recomendation if i know your location and more specifics of what you have and what you want to achieve.
