ya can call these guys, they are very trust worthy and excellent at what they do...my family has gone to them for years....."The Head Shop"--phone # (757) 631-2110 but they are in va beach....
thanks for the quick response. i should've checked the headstud holes when the block was bare. but at least i'm learning from my mistakes for future builds. i'll check for local shops tomorrow but if i don't find anything, i'll give them a call .
do you guys think i can get the hole fixed with the oil pan and transmission still on? i already sealed up the pan and the transmission was a bitch to get on. i can bring 2 friends to help me unload it from the truck. the guys at the machine shop wouldn't need to lift it would they?
