Looking for a good machine shop

I'm looking for a good machine shop in the Corpus Christi area. I need to get my 289 block clearanced for a 347 stroker kit and have the freeze plugs and cam bearings installed. I also want to zero deck the block so the piston sits level with the deck. Anyone know of any machine shops that are reputable and get the work done in reasonable amount of time? Let me know.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to give them a call today. Have you had work done by them? What kind of turn around do they have? Are their prices decent?

They built 2 of my engines before. They do really good work & there prices are pretty good. Turn around depends on what they have lined up. I'd say no more than 2 weeks if you have everything you need.
