Looking for a good machine shop that can do the preliminary work and cleanup on my 351w block and heads. Any suggestions on something down south?
Thanks.

Sorry but I have a bad taste in my mouth with them. They have done the worst work I have ever seen on my buddies cobra. And they take forever on turn around.
I used sp!tfire for my 460. They did just machine work. I did assembly.

Let me know how things turn out, when I get home I need to drop off a 302 block to get machined for my older boy's build, we'll be doing the assembly ourselves so he can learn. Are they working the heads as well?

Re: Machine Shop Suggestion?
They are only working on the block and rotating assembly. I'm going with aftermarket heads.
