Engine Rebuilders in upstate SC

[Cashmere E30]

I am new to the forum but to not my E30. I have been setting up my 91 for trackdays/possible future Spec E30. Long story short, I blew the head gasket...I am looking to get a new motor put in. Wondering if there are any good shops in the upstate for that sort of work....Bimmer Specialists is not an option as I made the mistake of taking the car there when I bought it a couple years ago...Lets say it wasn't cheap...I have heard mixed things about Korman up in NC, sounds like it depends on who does the work. Looking forward to getting the car back on the road/track this winter...

there is a guy with a shop in clemson, he is 328junkie or something on here... I've not done any business with him or met him, but he is close to you so you could keep a close eye on the progress and the work they are doing.


Edit: I dont know if he can BUILD an engine, but he says he can do swaps.

His name is Dave Markert, Good guy with lots of knowledge and experience, I used to be neighbors with him.

Only thing I didnt like about him is that he's a hands on car guy, but got scared and went the easiest way he could to have an engineer title! lol Imaginary Engineering.... I keed, I keed...well, I kinda do...lol

^ Lolol. Thanks for the kind words guys!
Holler when you want that motor zach :D

haha no problem! I've got plenty of IE friends and I give each and every one of them the same treatment! I will say they make AWESOME money for relatively obvious work.... haha though they are mostly girls, so maybe there's another reason...oh well, M.E. and proud! lol

btw, can you PM a price to swap rear subframe bushings? just incase I want to be lazy.
