Default I need help finding a shop

My dad and I are building a 347 stroker and are looking for a place in or around DFW to get the heads polished and ported. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I know you posted DFW, but if you can get them down to Austin I recommend Port Pros. (Sponsor --->)

Sorry, I forgot to mention it is a Ford. I probably should have gone over to SVTP but I'm only a member here and I trust the input I read here.

Port Pros does lots of Furds and even Viper motors. (Remember, this is Austin. Lotta dumbasses with more money than sense, so they buy Vipers and blow the motors. At least they are smart enough to have Harold and his crew rebuild them.)
