Question.....

Anybody recommend an engine machine shop that KNOWS Fords, actually gives a d@mn about precision and taking the time and care to do a job right, over here in SE Idaho? I live in Blackfoot, could take the work anywhere from Twin Falls to Ashton to get the right work done.
Got a 1969 351W that's going into a Mustang, and want to go through a 400M and a 300 six, but don't want to waste precious bucks on second rate work.....

I wish I did. It's hard finding a good machinist and once you do, it seems like they always pick up and move somewhere else when you go looking for them for your next project.

If you lived in Boise or were willing to travel here, I would recommend Moffitt and Bratton. Pat Bratton is building my 434 stroker and has a lot of knowledge in Fords and racing engines in general.
