Hey there guys, so today I started looking for a machine shop in my area to do the machine work on my 401. My question to you is there any questions that I should be asking them before I take my engine to them to do the work? This is my first AMC build, I have built other engines before but want to make sure these guys know there AMC's after all its not a chev. I went to one shop and talked to the two guys that worked there and they seemed to have a bad attitude about the fact that I am getting info from a forum. Not sure how much I like that! I also want to get a idea from you on what I should expect to spend on my machine work so I know that I am not getting ripped off! I know that they work for there money but so do I. This flag was thrown when I asked them if they had a price sheet for there standard work that they do and they told me that they didn't, and to come back next week and they would give me a price. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Collin
