Thread: Roseville Engine Machine. Anyone with experience with them?

I'm pulling the engine out of the white car to get it beefed up. I called Roseville Engine Machine and the guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Prices seem good too ($250 for increase bore and crank balance). Just want to know before I haul the short block over there. If anyone else knows a better company that will do a bore, balance, assmebly, and hottanked for a good price let me know. Oh and a blueprint as I like to keep numbers on everything :)

They do good work but my take a little while, they assembles Brad's (ORANGE 91 talon) short block before he sold it and it ran GREAT. Just dont expect it to be in and out in only a couple days. These guys are the only place in town we could find that would assemble 2g pistons on 1g rods.

What kind of internals are you going for?

Well since it's so affordable now to do a 600hp engine build on your own these days, I'm going for:

Ross Piston Tops
Eagle H-Beam Rods
Clevite Rods and Mains
Arp Main studs and Rod bolts

With a brand new freeze plug, new oil pump and front case and a balance shaft elim kit, I calculated it would be just over $1100 in parts shipped, I can take my time in piecing together (granted my crank is still usable). So that leaves the machine work. If I can get it done for under $500, that would mean I got a similar setup as a stageII sbr shortblock for much much cheaper ($1600 vs. approx $2650 shipped & blue-printed) Do you remember how much Brad paid to do his engine work there?
