Default Engine Builder or Machine shop

I live near Chicago and I need a engine Builder or a machine shop .I have a 968 Crank I want installed in a 2.5 block . I would like to Sleeve the block to use 104 or 105 mm pistons.I have Carillo Rods already . I just need to get pistons made and machine work done . If it was a Ford or Chevy I have shops that can do the work .For this Porsche no such luck .I need suggestions as who can do the work.

I can't believe no one here has a recommendation for a machine shop in Chicago. OK I don't have a thousand post or have been a troll here for years .I race in the Lemon's and Chump series because its all I can afford . The coated pistons in the Aluminum bore are scuffing . Its time to fix it once and for all that means sleeveing the bores . I thought the forum would be a source for help . So basiclly thanks for ****ing nothing .

You can use wossner pistons in the stock block, they work well.

Give Charles Navarro at LN Engineering a call. He can do the cylinders and supply the pistons.

Default pts

Have a nice non scored 83 2.5 liter 944 block (100mm nom) we just tore down if you can use that. The OD of the Alum jug at water jacket is only 114 so not sure what thin sleeve you plan on using. Boring and attempting to press a thin sleeve is more of a pain likely than just going with the flow on the 2.5. Yea its not a Chevy...
