I'm planning on rebuilding my 460 this summer, and looking for a machine shop in central mn. Anyone have suggestions? I'd like to find someone with experience in efi 460s to maybe do some head work.

I used R&R Performance in Spring Lake Park when I built my 460 about 10 years ago. They are the only ones I know of that know what they are doing with the Ford stuff.

Is spring lake park by Orono? Did you build your engine back to stock or do anything extra?

We have had Jax Specialty Engines in Hamel do all of our machine work.

Not really by Orono but not that far away either.

Not really, but as Jay said not that far away either.

I had it bored .030, balanced, ported heads, raised the compression, solid lifter cam, etc, etc.

Here is their contact info if you want to call them.
