    Machine Shops

    I am about to rebuild the engine for my Jeep. I need a good shop that I can deal with over the phone since there isn't any close to me. I am looking for some place in Yakima or close to I-90 on the westside. It is a Dodge 5.9 (360) Magnum engine. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks
