For future reference.
Maybe someone who specializes in Triumph. Also will need a good engine rebuild in the future.
Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank.
thanks

Chad, I have had great luck with David Anton at APT in Riverside---they are not mechanics but will rebuild your engine to what ever specs you want!

I have also heard great things about Frank Monrise in Pasadena and have met him and his sons at Buttonwillow racing vintage Sprites...

Frank Monrise
1843 E Walnut St

I've seen some really cool rides parked in front of Monrise's shop.

I know that he is nowhere near SFV, but have you considered using John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D Automotive Machine Shop? He has lots of experience with rebuilding import engines.
