As part of my 1965 MGB "Resurrection" project I want to have the engine, transmission, and rear end completely cleaned, disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt. The car has 54,715 original miles on, I was told when I bought the car many years ago that the transmission had a recent rebuild. The car has not ran since the early 80's. I'm doing a complete nuts and bolt rotisserie restoration.
I want the work to done by a reputable shop that either specializes in British engine and transmission machining/rebuild work or has done multiple such projects (with a satisfied customer reference list). I'm located in western Pennsylvania very close to the Ohio border and would like to find a shop within say the tri-state area within reasonable travel distance so I am able to stop in regularly and be able to respond should issues need to be decided and resolved. I'm not opposed to shipping the components to a shop beyond my criteria but my first preference is local. Larger cities in my region are Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron, Columbus.
Any shop recommendations, suggestions or results from similar projects would be greatly appreciated!
