    Maybe a little O/T but I have a ChevyII 153cid 4 cylinder engine that I want to build and am looking for someone who understands these motors. Does anyone know a reliable builder who fits this description? Needs to be in the PacNW, preferably Seattle Metro area, but I'll travel for the right shop. Thanks!

    R&Q machine in Selah wa is a very knowledgeable machine shop/engine builder. Not Seattle but worth the trip.

    It rather depends on what your concept of "built" is. R&Q can handle it as far a good build goes as they build a lot of stout running engines for guys around here. Still there are some damned fine machine shops Up and down I 5 that can handle just about anything you throw at them.
    That said I don't know of any Chevy II 4 cylinder experts in the PNW there may be some shops that build them for certain classes of hydros but that is a different can of worms.

    Eastco Machine in Gresham Oregon - a 3 hour jaunt from Seattle as long as you don’t leave during rush hour.

    They have built GMC 270’s, 302’s and Chev 261’s with great results for me. They grind cranks in house and understand older inlines well. They do a wide variety of new and vintage 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines from mild to wild.

    Craig Bloom is your guy . . .

    I've had them do sbc's, bb's, Buick V6, and a flathead for me..about to take in a 283 I just bought to have them do the machining on it.
