“Just wanted to give a shout out to John Phillips @ Phillips Racecraft for the over the top service, quick turnaround, and beautiful machine work on the freshen up on the Chevelle Motor! I have not seen a cylinder wall finish or crank finish as nice as this! We are on our 4th motor with him doing the machine work and NO disappointments! Looks like at least 4 more coming and possibly more over the winter! Thanks again John!”
– Rob A.
“I wanted to let you know the balance work on the 6.4 hemi was super smooth at all engine speeds and loads. My customer is very impressed with it. My personal opinion. It is the smoothest V-8 I have driven. Thank you!!”
