Engine Rebuilder near NYC
Hi all,
Just got a 1929 business coupe and I'd like to have someone do the long block rebuild. Can anyone recommend the local guru near NYC? Thanks in advance! Pat My rebuild blog: patsmodela.wordpress.com |

Best rebuilder near you is Schwalm's in Strasburg, PA.

Re: Engine Rebuilder near NYC
hey Pat, been to the Short Hills mall lately? (but you won't find any A parts there!)
I looked at your blog and it is too cool that you are able to make this a family affair. I hope the kids stay with it. In the end y'all will have accomplished a great deal, have a lot of satisfaction, have bonded more as a family, have a kool example of automotive history that hasn't been made in 85 yrs, and be able to do family events/outings/touring/etc which is when it gets really good. You will bring smiles to the faces of everyone you encounter: for that moment in time, strangers will be able to time travel with you and get quite a thrill! do not get discouraged. it takes time to do it right. do it right and it will last and be reliable. the Barn is a huge resource for you, lots of willing help here.

Re: Engine Rebuilder near NYC
I had my engine rebuild by Schwalm's. The did a great job. I had them go all the way, bored, inserts, full pressure, new cam and crank....
I'm about two miles west of the Livingston Mall. Good luck Dick

Re: Engine Rebuilder near NYC
We have installed three Model A engines and a many flywheels rebuilt by J & M Machine in Southborough MA. Their attention to detail and close tolerances make for a strong Model A engine with minimal vibration. They are a little obsessive, but I’d recommend them unconditionally. It’s worth your trip.

Re: Engine Rebuilder near NYC
J and M has done over 6 engines for me over the years. The crack repair is like open heart surgery, beautiful.
State of the art equipment that you won't find in the other shops. I recommend them highly! Give them a call. (508)460-0733 www.jandm-machine.com |

Re: Engine Rebuilder near NYC
Pat,
Al at Go Devil Garage and John at J&M Machine are the two folks I would suggest speaking with based on your locality, my limited knowledge, and their references. I've posted a list of "questions to ask a rebuilder" and some additional notes on my blog. I hope this is helpful. Seth |
