Atlanta "area" Machine Shops

Hey guys,
Long time reader, first time poster here on ClassicOlds.

I've been posting up a lot about my 403 build over on 78TA.com and have most of my information over there, which I'll soon be sharing here.

I'm currently looking for a very good, knowledgeable (especially with Olds motors) in the Atlanta "Area." I say area lightly as I can travel just about anywhere to get work done as long as it's reasonable. Jax is only about 3 hours from me, but would rather not drive that way.

I travel from South (Statesboro) GA to North (through ATL) all the time and would love to find someone reputable that knows Oldsmobiles in that area.

Here's an idea of what I need done:

Cylinder heads completely re-worked, built, ported the whole bit. I'm looking to really put some work into my Ga heads to make them performers.

Block work, decked, bored, checked, rotating assembly balanced.

I can do all of the assembly on my own, just not the machine work and looking for a shop that ya'll use and trust for Olds work.

The shops I've really looked into are Mo's Speedshop in Dallas (VERY close to home) and Vengeance in Atlanta, who all of my friends (but mostly Chevy guys) use. Any feedback on these two shops, or any Olds specific guys around between S. GA and N. GA?

Thanks for the help, and excited to be here!

JJ

Canton isn't too far from where I'll be dropping the car off for body work. C.A.R.S. will be handling all the resto work, and my folks house isn't a terrible drive. I'll look into them as well. I've been reading up on stuff all day.
