Well I think the damage in my Plymouth Fury is beyond a quick repair, so I am looking to get a new 318 long block. Maybe I will take my time and rebuild the current block for another project. I have been looking around on the net and found a couple of different builders, anybody have any opinions on these shops: S&S Engine Remanufacturing 1023 N. Monroe Spokane, WA sandsengines.com rebuiltautoengines.com Precision Engine Rebuilders 6835 Harrisburg Blvd. Houston, TX precisionengine.com rebuiltcrateengines.com Any info on the quality/reliability/trustworthiness of these two builders is appreciated. I am also open to other suggestions for options on getting a new 318 built for my car. .fleetwood.
Mesa Machine in Escondido , Ca . Old fart , knows everything and I've seen Maseratti's , Hispano-Suiza , flatheads and God only knows what else in his shop . He built my 292 cid inliner Chevy and and a diesel John Deere for the company I worked for . Does anything , been around long enough to see it all . Tell him the guy with the tank sent you .
thanks for the input. I have talked to Chris on the phone a few times. i will call him back and see about getting a new long block started for the fury. .fleetwood.

Geez...there has to be a bunch of engine machine shops in Reno. Many diesel engine guys will also work on gas stuff... A 318 is a pretty popular engine... no big secret on how to fix 'em.
