If you live in Alice then why not look in corpus for someone to build it?

Years ago Rogers was the place in Corpus to have an engine built, but I don't know if Rogers is still around. 20 years ago he was somewhat strange and was sometimes hard to deal with, but he was a good machinist. I know of many people from the Corpus area using Mission. Kotzur is good,but you will be waiting a good while to get your engine back. Mission is very good and the work will be done right the first time and they will have your engine ready a lot quicker than many shops.
