It's high time I do something to get my 340 short block put together. What I need: Block and crank magnafluxed, just to be sure first. The block is already bored and honed 0.040 over and crank journals polished 0.010 under. I want the piston tops faced off to get zero deck (they are the Speed Pro L2316 pistons, that usually end up 0.018-0.020 above the deck) and crank I imagine will need balanced too. Once this is done I'll have a cool conversation piece that I can start bolting things onto as I get 'em. But first...need to talk to a shop that I can be comfortable in dropping off my parts! So, any good suggestions? I'm near Youngstown Ohio and would prefer someone local or fairly local that I can drive to. Thanks!

But, when it comes to machining parts to a spec, it doesn't matter what brand the parts are, and any competent machine shop can do the work. ...but I certainly prefer someone who is familiar with what I'm building!
