City Motor Supply is who I used last.

a friend of mine swears by another guy named Gary around Mesquite but I cant remember the name of his shop, I can find out if you'd like though. he builds a lot of dirt track engines but from what i have seen will do anything and is very good at what he does.

if you just need someone to clean up a block City Motor has a badass computerized machine that does all of their work.

I got their performance block prep, clean and magnaflux, CNC bore and chamfered, CNC measured and decked, intake rails decked, honed, freexe plugs installed, cam bearings installed for $185

You said other than the guy in Denton, so I'm assuming you mean Calvert's.

If you want cheap use CITY.
PERFORMANCE and CHEAP don't go together.
