Default needa good new engine builder

well I was supised when I was running over to my local machine shop (Jess milller in west chester pa) and I get there, not a soul around, no cars or anything. a sign on the door saying Jess retired and shut down everything.... then I call spyder in coatesville... he is very sick and has shut down everything.. so the two top dogs in my area are closed for good. anyone have a good local machine shop they use? i normally build 4-5 modular ford 4.6 engines a year and countless head mills, flywheel cuts ect. I need some help guys

Fran's shop is the same place I use. Have used them for 5-6 years now with no issues. I've personally had 3 motors put together by them and was the one who used them prior to Fran switching.

His guy is straight up and honest, no BS.
