I finally managed to get time to drop my turbo block off at the machine shop Tuesday afternoon. It's a new shop in town and I've been waiting to hear about the work they do. Everything I've heard up to this point has been good so I figured I'd give them a shot. Come to find out, these guys do a bunch of work for the mini stock crowd so they're no strangers to 2.3s and as we talked, they basically finished my sentences or answered my questions half-way through asking them. I felt pretty good about it to say the least.
I dropped it off yesterday afternoon and they called me today right before I left work to tell me he'd already roughed in the bores and that they couldn't clean up the rust at .020(it was a junkyard block that had seen some weather) so the bores will end up .030. Now I can get the pistons ordered and on their way while they do the crank and the rest of the work on the block.
Another turboford is conceived.
