 local machine shop? I’m am Re-Introducing my-self. I bought a 1996 GST and it walked. I bought a 90 6 bolt and a 92 auto 6 bolt head. I’m planning on putting the motor back together myself. (After reading two manuals twice, reading forums, and watching engine build videos for about 7 months now) Also I’m doing an AWD conversion.
The questions:
Where can a find a local machine shop?(around long beach and experience with 4g63)
How much will I expect to pay?
Should I port/polish?
The donor car is an automatic. What parts should I avoid?

Re: local machine shop? just keep in mind that autos have different ratios in the rear diff than the manual ones.
