There was a thread on Ford Barn asking for recommendations on shops, and I copied these. No personal experience obviously, but the recommendations were supposed to be based on experience. The thread was quite a while ago, but it would give you a start. You can also check with your local Early Ford V8 Club to see who they recommend.

I'm not much help as I don't know of any near Pittsburgh.
But let me throw this one in the mix, also from the eastern half of the state. Obers Performance, 1391 Furnace Hills Like, Lititz, PA. 717-626-4293.
Barry Ober rebuilt the 239 Yblock in my 54 F100 in 1979 and it is still running great! As far as flatheads Barry did work on my brother's flathead in his 53 F600. Ober's has a Facebook page you can find. I just saw a picture there of them tearing down and boring a flathead from a 52 Ford.
I hope you find a good machine shop near you but Ober's is just a trip east on the turnpike from Pittsburgh.
