Default Albany NY area machine shops

Anyone have any suggestions for machines shops I can trust boring and doing basic head work on a 68 400? Willing to travel a bit so figure within 100 miles of the Albany/Saratoga NY region.

Looking for a clean, professional, timely shop, not someone's shop out back, or someone that does it as a hobby.
Thanks,
JohnnyB

Mike Felt in Hudson Falls has built a bunch of Pontiac motors. He does have a torque plate which most shops don't. He also has an engine run stand to make sure the motor is ready to bolt in. His number is 518-441-9208
