Default Machine shop in Maryland

I am looking for a good machine shop within an hour and a half drive of Frederick, MD. I am getting a LQ9 block and I need to get the block sonic tested and then bored out to 4.070. They would also be modifying the block and oil pan/windage tray to take a 4.1" stroke crank. Anyone know of any good shops? Thank you.

I'm sure there are more options than this but I know of 2.

1 - Name unknown, it's in Pasadena. I can get the info from a buddy that had them rebuild the motor in his supercharged 3.8 so that he could run a lot more boost, it's now making about 500whp

2 - Mark Small Machine in Westminster, MD. Phone number is 410-857-3340. Website is http://marksmallmachine.com/ It's just off Route 27, right past the Shell station and police barracks.

Denny's Machine Shop in Williamsport, MD just on the other side of Hagerstown. He has done 2 blocks for me and 2 sets of heads. Legit work.

I would not try to take an iron block out to 4.07 bore. Lot of people will say you can... but Ive never seen one do it and make power and not have oil consumption problems. just like a 4.100" crank in a stock length sleeve if you dont do it right your asking for it.

I think I am going to stick with the regular 408 with a 4.03 bore and 4" stroke. I was think of trying to get as many cubic inches, but I now think that the amount of nitrous I will be using will make up for what cubic inches I wanted.
