Default looking for a good engine builder

We are building a 302 Windsor and are after the best engine builder we can find for the machining, balancing etc..
There are stacks of them out there but would like to weed out the great from the bad and the good.
Can anyone suggest a very good high performance oriented engine builder in NSW?

mate whilst I haven't used them, i know that shaun(cycov8) raves about them. Grants Performance in charmhaven. They're solely performance based and i'm pretty sure it was their motor in the car that won summernats burnout masters??

Anyways i'm sure shaun will be in here to say pretty much the same

Okay, We will drop in on Grants and have a chat. A good reputation is hard to find in the engine building world.

Thanks for that.

yeah mate exactly like adam said grant is performance based and is great even after the motor is built has helped me out quite a few times and always looks after me. If you want a good motor he is the person to see. And being at charmhaven he is only round the corner. If you go to there website Grants Performance - Home there is a bit more about them on there.
