I used Bob Campbell in Perth, but I believe old Bob isn't what he used to be.
Also Chevpower in Perth do quite a few engines for drag cars, burnout cars, speedway & street. Seem to be good value for money.

It's fantastic to see all the replies ! Let's make sure we keep the recommedations to builders who don't charge 6 million bucks for a piston n 3 million for a ring ect ect.. I think yas get ma drift. You get what u pay for I understand that but some places should be wearing balaclavas n holding a gun when they give you a price... Lol

I have just starting out looking for an engine bulder. I have rung a few and all seem very helpful.

I came across an engine shop in Dandenong, Vic called the 308 engine shop. They have quoted me a very good price for a 355 and will run it on their dyno.

has anyone used this shop as they are not one that has been put forward so far.

I know that every engine built will be different with parts used,thus various HP figures quoted
but
What would be the more popular(better) brands to use for say Cams,bearings,lifters,springs,crank,pistons etc etc..

Also
What would the average cost be $2000,3000-$7000,8000, is this based on HP,experience,parts used etc

Heads: (Usually sold complete minus rockers) Air Flow Research are the business.
Cams: Crane or Crow are good brands.
Bearings: Clevite
Rockers: Crane
Lifters: Crower
Springs: Usually in the heads you buy, but if you need to get new ones, Crane.
Crank, Pistons and rods: Scat or COME.
Manifolds: Edelbrock or Harrop
Harmonic Balancers: Romac
Carby: Demon, Barry Grant etc
Studs: ARP

Depends on whether you want the best bits money can buy for ultra reliability or high power applications. It's the norm to expect $8,500-$15,000 for an engine between 450 and 650 HP.

Thanks for all the add ons guys. Good stuff.
