Drive to Christiansburg and go to Pro Engines, Terry Walters really knows his SBCs, but is still learning when it comes to Jap 4 cylinders...at least from what I've seen...

Street? I'm not real, real familiar with the c-burg area. I know how to get to agees or bills but that is about it.

If you can get to Bills or Agees coming from roanoke, you drive right past pro engines. He's on the left just as you're leaving town on radford rd. Look for the big purple house on the left and turn left into the driveway before it, you should see the sign. Pro Engines is in the back of the building with the office on the side.

He has. We delivered straight tubing every once and a while to him.. and he has had other things to work on.. but they have all been made by chrysler (that I have seen)... so he may have been up to work on an eagle?
