Default Machine shop

So i picked up a b20 bare block for free, win win. I was wanting to see if anybody knows of a good local machine shop that knows about the b20. I have talked to a few and they state they can bore and check it out, but can not put it together. I went to a local machine shop and yeah they did not do so well on my build last time. They used a belt sander to mil my head and they said doing a pnp would not help the head. So any suggestions local to Dallas area.

I went with a local machinist on the east coast because even as an old timer, his customer base has moved from the majority being SBC/BBC & SBF/BBF to Imports and he has done a great job on some much higher HP builds than my own. (and is also on time and doesn't over-promise on deadlines)

If you are unsure or don't know of anyone else with good experiences locally, it may be wise and worth the cost in shipping back and forth to have it done by one of the top dogs who have a lot of experience with our castings.
