These guys did a great job building my new ls7 motor. They got it in and assembled with minimal down time and the motor now has about a month of driving on it and about 600 miles on it. I have done two oil changes and they have looked perfect.

I had a Oldsmobile 455 built for my 1953 Olds 98. All the machine work and assembly was done by AMS and am very happy with the performance. I will choose AMS for my next build.

I've had a few engines and sets of heads done with these guys. The level of craftsmanship is superb, however this is a small operation. Sometimes they get a bit backed up with all of their orders, leading to a longer projected completion date. Top notch customer service.

Had some BMW and LS engines done by them. Always a great price and service. They do have a wait time but a machine shop that's not booked out is a machine shop not worth going to.
