Magnum Machine in Cheasapeake is my machine shop of choice. Kurt Bosch is the owner. Very, very good.

Richmond or F'burg (your profile location)?

What engine(s), and what type of work are you looking to have done?

Close to f-burg, seems there's nothing around northern Va
Eight sleeves in the Hemi then honed with plate
440 bored over .055 with plate
Rod work
Balance
Someone I can take a piece to and know it's done right in a reasonable time frame.

Second vote for Magnum Machine in Chesapeake. Kurt and Tim are good to work with and know Mopars. Kurt owns a bunch of them too.

I use Pat Donovan from Culpeper, I have known him for about 40 years. He is not only Mopar, but he has built a lot of fast engines that live. He is reasonable, and keeps you updated. VERY ANAL about his work.

What would be wrong with Sonny Leonard or Billy Albert?

You said good..........I believe these two would qualify

Oh they're good, no doubt. But I'm guessing they are out of my pay level, they're looking for whales not minnows.

Not true.......you think every customer of well known engine builders, is a no expense spared, big money guy? Hardly.......small guys is what keeps the doors open of most any shop.

I have dealt with Reher-Morrison, Charlie Buck, Oakley Motorsports and a long list of others............one thing they all have in common? Machine work prices run about the same as your local guy down the street.
