I'd drive down to English Racing...once in a while, they make a trip up and have space in the trailer for an extra car. hit em up and see if you can work something out

We have now built close to 300 4g63 in the last 8 years. Built 47 of them last year and are on track for over 50 this year. We have them down to a art.

We have a TQ plate, quite a few tricks and do the deck and head surfaces right. Most normal builders would not have a TQ plate or spend the time to get the small detail's right.

Also if we build and install the motor it makes it our baby so you dont get caught up in the finger game of who takes care of problems. Like the installer blames the builder and the builder blames the installer and in the end no one mans up and takes care of the problem.

I saw people lose over 100k just last year from having to do the build twice.

I can to towing if needed also. If it works right I can tow a car down from Seattle for around $200.

With ER so close, you'd be silly not to take it to them.

Not to just jump on the ER bandwagon, but there's a good reason everyone in the PNW suggests them. The work is honest, they know the cars like no other and customer service is second to none. They have arguably one of the fastest 4G63's in the country. They're nationally and internationally known in the 4G63 community for tuning and engine builds.

The list can go on and on of why someone should go to English Racing for automotive work. I'd like to see ANY shop that has ER's reputation and satisfied customers.

This is coming from a customer that isn't a huge spender with a crazy custom built engine. My Engine is nearly stock, but I get the same respect as the guys with $10k builds. I've been going to ER for nearly 6 years now, and will continue to go there for another 6.
