I just called Tony's and they don't do cylinder head milling anymore. Anyone know of someone else in the Dallas area that does this for a reasonable price?

Not in North Dallas but I would call Ray Mac. I have had block work done at Mike Smiths in FT. Worth and they did a good job for me but I've read some negative things about them on here since then. ?

Definitely give Wayne Calvert a shot. They have top notch service and do top notch work. We've had all our stuff done by him. Prices were good too. They are in Denton off exit 462 I believe it is.

Not sure but last time I went they were working on a V10 from a viper. Pretty dope. They did a bang up job on my last 355. Wayne's been around for a long time. He's like 83 and still works and is sharp as a tack. His son and some other guys do most of the work though. Randy is one is his sons he helped me out with my motor. They're just great people who do great work. There isn't alot of people around like them in the business world anymore.

I've had three motors built by Calvert in the last 2 years. One is in my road race car and the other two are now in customer cars. Randy did all the work on them. They have also done several sets of heads for us as well.

It says a lot about a performance shop to have been in business for 50 years at the same location and under the same name. They have to be doing something right.
