I don't take machine work to anyone local. If you had a SBC or SBF maybe...

citizens machine shop off nine mile rd. I take all my stuff and stuff from work there. Have never gotten anything bad from them and have been using them for about 12 years.

They usually send the cranks out the NAPA's machine shop to check them out.

+1 . I havn't been in a while but got good work out of them. The old guy at the front desk was annoying as hell but the guy in the back knows his stuff!

I had Davis Machine Shop behind Autozone on Hull Street and Chippenham do some head work for me. They were quick and decently priced. A lot of guys at my work have mud bog trucks and muscle cars, and everyone recommended them. I took them a 240sx head and everything worked out great. Id recommend them.

Yeah, they did all my work on the LS6 block, rods and pistons that I put in the SS.

As far as porting, sleeving and all that for the Gen3, not sure.
