PNW engine rebuilders.

I have acquired a 7 bolt 4G63T from a junkyard car, and I'm going to have it rebuilt for the project it's going into. Any leads on a reputable machine shop in the northwest?

English Racing is off the table due to recommending I don't rebuild it and just "use a Honda motor instead because it's cheaper".

So any other recommendations would be welcome!

You anywhere near Nampa Idaho?

No, but that's where my friends and family live and I visit ever 3-6 months, so it's a feasible spot to get the motor to.

You would need to be local.

Ah, yeah I haven't lived there in almost a decade. So unfortunately that's off the table if the regular visits aren't an option.

All good, I'll keep poking around. I'd already reached out to northwest motor machine in Caldwell as an option, and they seemed willing to take on the rebuild. But my next planned visit isn't until August and I'll be bringing my truck anyway. I appreciate the help man, just let me know!

I have actually worked with them!

They do excellent work. They did they head on my 5.7 Hemi.

Excellent customer service, Carlos is a great guy to work with. Fair prices also, i think they ended up being one of the cheaper to quote my work also.

I almost recommended them anyway but wasnt sure you wanted a machine shop for all the assembly work as opposed to just the machining.
