W-engine builders in Midwest

Are there any respected W-motor builders in Iowa or one of the surrounding states? (MN, IL, MO, NE, SD, WI) I'm looking to have a stroked motor built this winter for an upcoming project.

Thanks.

Tony is in Independence, Mo (Kansas City). His shop is about 20mins from my house. I have spoke with Tony S a couple of times and he builds a very nice w-block. His bother lives about a hour west and he has more parts than one person can ever imagine. Very nice people.

I don't think show cars rebuilds the engines. I know for sure they farm out all the machine work and I think that place assembles them too. There is a very well respected machine and engine shop in Mankato, MN. TC Automotive (507) 388-3402 I don't know how far you want to travel but these guys will do it right.

I am fairly sure that Phil sends his stuff to Tony S. Phil is another very good source for parts.

Tom O is correct

Phil Reed of KC does send his "W" engine work to Tony Shafer's in Independence, MO. I have visited Tony's shop. Saw a Z-11 blcok and heads (he's done many over the years). This guy is good (but so is CPG).

I am but 2 hours away from him. Am using the local machine shop for general stuff, but am inclined to drop stuff off in Independence so Tony can take a look (I have some "problem" blocks I wish to resurrect). Word has it he is one of the best, and he certainly has lots of experience. I am told he is honest as the day is long....

Best of luck in your decision making.
