Default Kansas machine shops?

Looking for a reputable shop in KS to port LT1 heads, and possibly do a rebuild. Only place i could find was CHS in Wellington, but cant find a website or contact info. I'm at Ft. Riley, but wouldnt mind an hour or two drive for a good shop. thanks.

I know a couple of shops in my town that do great work.

1. Mast Street Machines
They did the work on my dad and I 302 for our 65 mustang project, they balanced and blueprinted it and everything else.

2. Schroer Speed Shop in strong city

Its a buddy of mines shop, he did all the work on his S281 Mustang and is puttin down somewhere around 450rwhp, so he knows alot about what he is doin.

Hope this helps out a bit
