Hey guys, so my machine shop has messed up moer than once, and now I'm searching for new pistons, and then I'll need to find a new machine shop, to re-bore my cylinders for the new slugs. So does anyone have any recommendations? The Napa machine shop (Lake City) seems to do pretty good work, and is really close to me, but I'd obviously rather go do a fair-priced race-shop, So does anyone have any suggestions?

well they know v8 really well but not supras they didnt know about the cams looking like they are bad when they are not. but they did a great job they have built a lot of engines for supermodifed oval cars. they where a little slow but thats only because they knew i was in no hurry. they let me know that my pistons where coming out of my block at topdead just a little cuz they had to take too much off because my block was out of wack, instead of sending me home and letting me find it out when it blows up. so yea im happy with them.
