Looking for a reliable engine builder in Indiana for a 7.3 build

Fl Stroker · May 10, 2012

Not in Indiana but I am 100% satisfied with my Swamps build. Now with there engine dyno you will also know exactly what you will get as a finished product as well.

What are you looking for? I've got a built crate motor for sale

WIESEL · May 10, 2012

Just looking for an assembler?
What all did wagner do to your block?

99-Resurrection · May 10, 2012

Been getting frustrated with machine shop and was starting to explore options..... just wondering who else was around n where they had machine work done

WIESEL · May 10, 2012

I am dropping my block off soon, to a guy on the east side of Indy.
What all do you have in mind for your build?

IDK what kind of response you'll get but you could try Fleece, Danville, Haisley, and Woodruff.

Don't really know of any 7.3 shops around your area, so your best bet there would be going to Unlimited Diesel southeast of Columbus, Ohio, River City Diesel in Illinois, or Empire Diesel in Iowa.

B&C engine in Cicero, IN is a good machine shop.

They fixed my buddy's 6.0 heads.

Ron will take care of you.

I've called them three time over the past 8 months.
Just wanted a couple dyno pulls, they said they were 3 months behind and the last time the guy said the dyno was only for dmax's.
I know I would prolly get somewhere if I could talk to mark.

I am not bashing them, just the guy answering the phones.
I am extremely impressed with mark, he knows what he is doing.

I just helped install one of his stock appearing turbos on a dmax, he live tuned it and made 630 hp very impressing.

I still wouldn't bet on them building a 7.3.

I know they are backed up with work - and that they don't dyno tune anything but Dmaxes (unless that recently changed - which I am sure it could have with the ability for EFI-Live to tune Cummins).

I'll say something to Mark in a few minutes - I need to call him anyway for some stuff...

I also agree that they probably wouldn't take on a PSD build with how backed up they are in the Dmax world.... but the dyno thing surprises me a bit.

My buddy with the dmax said the secretary is an ass. He just talks to mark now.
Let him know I would like to see what truck truck puts down before I pull these Injectors:thumbsup:

Hey Hotrod, where did you get the motor built on your red SD? I am looking around for the same thing here and I am in the Chicago Burbs.
