Does anyone know of a Engine Machine Shop near Hillsborough? I need to consider the cost of rebuilding my '88 L03 5.0 liter.

I like Larry Hansen in Middlesex. Super nice guy to deal with. He lists himself as a "Pontiac and Oldsmobile" specialist, but I've seen everything in his shop from a blown BBC to a Super Stock Hemi. A SBC will be cake for him. One of my buddys was going to have Larry do a 305 for him, and he was happy with teh price Larry gave him. Tell 'em "unstable bob gable with the AMX" sent ya. http://www.hansenracing.us/

I dont know off hand. you'd have to call them.

I know that they dont do anything with the computer programming. they're just a machine shop. they should be able to do the machining though.
best of both

I second Southside Auto in Manville. I worked for Sam while in High School and a few years out. As far as doing LT1s I would call and ask him. Just my opinion from and older former Central Jersey Street racer.

If you don't mind traveling across the bridge into PA, you can go to Langhorne Speed Shop, I've been in there once or twice and the guys have a reputable machine shop with engine building services.

i wouldn't trust langhorne speed shop with a peddle car.
i went in to talk to them once and the prices they were quoting me changed 5 times during the conversation and then they couldn't/wouldn't tell me who does their machine work for them since they couldn't/wouldn't tell me if they had the equipment to tank/mag/hone/line bore in house.

Maybe hes likes the LO3 for the gas mileage which IMO has awesome MPG.
