i had a driveshaft done at kevins for my bronco about 8 years ago. it was pretty close to bullet proof. after it was installed, i broke my t case output shaft and my pinion gear in the 9" that i had.

[kevinr]

how much to check and/or balance a driveshaft (3" chromoly)im thinking just to ballance $35-45 depends on the shaft.....Oh by the way , I was the only only one around that was equiped for doing chromemoly shafts,hell i even stock the parts on the shelf from Strange Engineering, which i am a WD for

[hungryjack]

[Riceman]

When will you be open for business, and can you balance/check torque tubes for the vettes? :)

[93zm6tally]

Kevin,

Looks great man. You did a motor for me a couple of years ago. Stroked 350, the one with the o-ringed deck that you welded.

Good luck man,

Mark.

[BMFC]

How much to do a simple port job on a honda head?

[dhirocz]

I'd like to come by and take a look at that place when I come home next month. Looks pretty sweet. I like that flow bench!

Looks also pretty similar to the size/type building I will be buying for my own personal shop/storage too.

Looks like I might be getting you to do my driveshaft building too.

[kevinr]

[BMFC]

How much for a real port job?

[kevinr]

How much for a real port job?

Good question???????price by hour i guess, we will work something out

[BMFC]

My head flows 279 stock and a race head can flow over 350, I would like to get around 300/305 cfm. Also could you port intake manifolds? Let us know when you are offically open.

[kevinr]

have alittle ways to go

[300Plus.net]

I have a "staked in" u joint driveshaft for my Nissan I need the u joints replaced in. I had the stock 2 piece driveshaft chopped and made into a 1 piece and after a year of abuse the U joints are shot. After researching online I see it is definitely do-able just need to machine/dremel out the "stakes" and then source a pair of u joints. I have located the parts online but don't really have time. Any idea how much it would cost to replace both U joints and balance the bastard? and how long would it take?

-Kyle

[kevinr]

More to it than just reaming the bore,not sure about joints u bought,we always used a early model inside clip joint,but the yokes had to be milled but the joints u have might not call me or bring it by Mon.

[coonbottom]

Kevin, are yall set up to lathe the yokes off of driveshafts yet? I have some 2.5 ton driveshafts that will need to be shortened in the near future.

[kevinr]

Oh yeah, thats a majoriy of my business, have a big inventory
