Hello All,

I'm interested in your feedback/experiences with engine builders.

Looking to get some 4.6L 3v heads ported, polished and assembled. Would prefer a shop that would also install them on the car but not vital. Willing (and wanting) to pay top dollar for expert craftsmanship.

Who is the go to modular engine builder on the west coast these days? I would like to keep it on the west coast, but would be willing to go elsewhere for quality work. Livernois seems like a decent bet given the amount of volume (and therefore experience) they have, but quantity is not equal to quality of course...

In my research I've come across MMR, MHS, RPG (they only seem to do Coyote though).

I want quality, better than OEM levels of assembly.

Thanks everyone

Don't live on the west coast and someone who does can confirm, but I could've sworn I've seen posts about AED building engines. Might be worth giving Shaun a call. Don't know who your tuner is, but the fact that he would be able to tune it should be a positive.
