Does anybody have knowledge of a machine shop in the Macon or maybe southern Atlanta area that I can entrust to do bore/hone/deck/line bore for 4 bolt aftermarket caps on a 73 455 block? No assembly needed, just the machine work before I ship to Italy.

My buddy is at Robbins and moving to Ramstein and offered to throw it in with his stuff. I don't want to burden him too much so looking for shop he can deliver and pickup from within an hour or so if possible.

Kyle is a great guy. I think he is only working there part time now. One or two days a week. He is working at Summit racing the other days.

Thanks guys but I don't need a builder, I only need the machine work.

He works at a machine shop. I think it’s Chastain engines.

Thank you Paul. I knew it was something like that.

That's right, It's Chastain Engine Center. Kyle is a great guy, known him for years. Honest, highly skilled machinist. He'll do as much or as little as you want from basic machining to assembly. In fact, he machined and assembled the shortblock that's in my '68 and another 389 that I have on a stand right now.
