TR4/4A Budget for TR4 engine rebuild

If you are near a Saturday night amateur dirt track, there is probably a machine shop the racers use.

Good idea.

When I was a kid, the local hot rodders set up a drag strip (well, it was a kind of abandoned road). I used to walk around the neighborhood and watch guys cars work on cars. Our neighbors, the Bandimeres were pretty good with cars. There was a little speedway down the street, but they set up their own. Years later, look at what their drag strip turned into: > Home - Bandimere Speedway <.

So I agree with you. Sometime the dirt racers and guys like that know what they are doing !

Here's what my neighbors built up, starting with a dirt driveway up the street in the 1950's.

Thanks for replying to my comments. If you have the contact information for your shop in Sarasota, I'd like to check it out. As you know, good shops are harder and harder to find.

It's nice to know there are still people out there who know what they are doing !

The shop is no longer accepting "outside" work, they're primarily a fleet diesel truck repair shop now. We had an account with them due to personal friendship, they even did the valve seat inserts, bored the block and sourced (Wiseco) pistons for us, for a four-cam Ferrari V-12 we did back in the early 2000's.

Cool ! Thank you.
