ERL is in Indiana or you can try Opel Engineering in Streamwood. When I had them do my sleeves a long time ago they weren't equipped to do AEBS but it sounded like they could do others in house.

Quality work from those guys. I'm on the same boosted bottom end from them for the past nine years!

Pricing was good for the quality I got. Like I said, 9 years on the same bottom end so even if you feel they're a little more expensive than the next guy it should save you money in the long run.

I know RC Autoworks but I have not heard of Autowerks Motorsport, I'll have to look them up. I haven't even asked RC if they do that yet, they're like 10 miles from my house haha. Good shop, great people

Bob and Brandon will most likely have to send it to a machine shop either local or otherwise.

I'd see what there saying if there that close. It saves posting the block and the hastle that comes with it.
