Alright, great, thanks for the response! The only shop I have found was City Motor, and they are tough to do anything with.

None are Olds specific but the very good machine shops I know of are Watts Shop in Lavon, Morgan and Son Racing Engines in GP and Maxx Long Racing engines in Irving.

Hamm36 (Carl) here used Metroplex Machines in Balch Springs just off of 635 (one man shop - ask for Rick) to rebuild his Olds 455. He still recommends him.

Rick is a good dude I have had a couple Chevy motors machined from me in the past with him.
