I need a good machine shop for some block work that isn't going to completely drain my bank account.
The big things I need done:
-Clean and magnaflux
-Deck block
-Bore and hone w/torque plate (using my ARP head bolts)
-4 bolt main conversion with my caps (Howards 10*) and hardware (ARP studs w/tray)
-R&R cam bearings, freeze plugs, oil plugs, etc.
--Clearance for 3.75 stroke (although, I might take a crack at this myself depending on $$$)

Not opposed to a little bit of driving (an hour max).
I know what shops not to go to. Not sure if I trust the others I've been steered towards.
I've heard good things about Fonse in NJ but I'm wondering who else is out there. Anybody ever use Leindecker up by Allentown?

Thanks, I'll look them up. AMS sounds familiar.

Waiting on a response from Fonse.
