Small Block Chevy Rebuild / Upgrading Shop Required

[Swiss_Toni]

I’m looking for recommendation for an engine shop in the UK for overhauling / rebuilding / upgrading my Small Block Chevy engine.

I’m NOT looking for bob’s discount engine shop, it has to be a good shop with experience building good reliable race engines (as this is basically what I have).

Added plus points if they have experience with Motec ECU’s and Kinsler fuel injection.

Peter Knight? (p1ston on this board)

[Gulf -LS2]

Tim Adams in Market Drayton..... he builds race engines nothing else, he is used by all the historic race teams and is fully equipped. Where are you in the UK?

Peter Knight gets my vote and ticks all of your provisos.

Huddart Racing Engines gets my vote, did a great job on my engine, he's also importer specialist for US injection systems. He is always busy and back logged though (which is a good sign I always think!).

+3: Knight Racing Services in Daventry, it does not get any better . He is also very experienced with the Kinsler/MoTec set up, it is what he built for me

[Swiss_Toni]

Looks like Peter has some supporters!

How is he on price in comparison with others?

[Crazy of Cookham]

Give Charles Dunn a ring, he has done many.

Hi Swiss Toni,

As you are in Switzerland, have you thought about Heini Mader in Gland?

He has a ENORMOUS amount of experience in engines and racing engines, (F1, F2, F3000, Endurance, Rally, etc. Even though he has retired, his company still continues.

Peter Knight... the only guy I go to....

Charles Dunn has done more Ultima engines than most others here.

Na forget it!!! kenny coleman from engine data analysis in yorkshire is the man.
Ask around the pits or around the pits at santa pod. Has in house dyno and builds and runs dragcars.Did an awesome job on my supercharged small block chevrolet unbelievable seeing him making tiny changes to the engine on the dyno and picking up all those lovely horses.Ps did i say hes is a top bloke as with yorkshire men he does eat pork pies for dinner though.

I was going to mention him but hadn't heard of him lately. He seems very popular on the cobra forums with the sbc guys.

Charles Dunn is very helpfull and if i ever needed engine work he would one of the guys top of my list.

ive not used Peter Knight but again Id also give hime a ring as well and then decide

Thanks everyone,

I've spoken to Pete Knight (he was on my list, though it still good to see good recommondations).

I'll try to give Charles Dunn a call as well.

Either Tim Adams or Kenny Coleman......the latter having helped many of the aformentioned UK builders to get going in their early days! Or, Joe Sherman the world engine masters man and probably one of the top SBC guys on the planet..... based in the US though.
