    Hi All,

    Please can I have some suggestions on who in the US is best experienced/qualified to build me a Race engine from a 1950 331 OHV v8 or at least supply all the components to do it.

    thanks

    David

    I'd ask Cad-Lasalle, these are his favorite engines.

    thanks Pkap, I had already found them but they seem far more focused on later engines.

    That is true, but they do mention the older ones in their catalogue, and they have a lot of caddy specific knowledge. I would contact them first for direction. At least they should be able to point you towards other good sources if they don't have what you are looking for.

    I didn't realize that Tony at Ross did anything but Olds, but if they do, yes, they are really good.

    If not, we just used a guy in Naples Fl who is SUPERB. He built a new 468 Olds for my Sons RPU and I have never seen an engine done so well. He builds and races 7 second cars, and his attention to detail is so much better than anyone we have used in the past. Very nice guy, and he works fast. Had my Son's motor done in a little over a week, just like he promised.

    Here is his info:

    MIKE THOMPSON RACING ENGINES
    4303 EXCHANGE AVE
    Naples, FL 34104
    (239) 643-6009


    He is so old school that he doesn't even advertise or have a website. Guess his word of mouth is so good he doesn't have to.
