Looking for a recommendation for an automotive machine shop in the B'ham metro area. One with actual automotive experience. I have a small block chevy engine that might need some work, like cylinder boring / honing, crankshaft work, balancing of rotating assembly, etc., and be able do it right.

Most of the guys I knew in my previous AO around Montgomery have died or retired / went out of business.

I posed the same question a while back and ended up getting this answer. Note that I have not gotten my engine to any of the shops because a tree flattened the shop.

Judging by Facebook/website the one in Trussville looks performance oriented.

I’ve talked to the one in Leeds and they’ve done a lot of work on Windsors so I’m more than likely taking my 302 to them for a 300-350hp build.

Thanks for the leads. I'm going to try to go by the Trussville shop soon and chat with them.

Iron City Machine in Trussville has closed. Alabama Engine Rebuilders in Fairfield part of Cylinder Head Service would be another option. Ask for Michael 205-369-2324.
