The other alternative is a long ways away but one that has done well for everyone I sent there. I know the owner personally and he is quite impressive. They do a lot of Ford Modular and Coyote work and have had several Texas mile and drag racing superstars. Here is a link to the website => L&M Engines. The owner is Michael Rauscher. If it helps to start the conversation, you can tell him you found him through discussion with me.

Michael does all manner of performance engines but tends to focus on Fords and the Modular family engines including the Coyote. His 'bedside manner' is sort of like Sgt Joe Friday on the old Streets of San Francisco TV series — 'just the facts Ma'am'. That said his machining and work product are excellent. Using him does mean you are spending freight back and forth to Commiefornia.

S&S have gone the private machine shop route, only preferred racers can do business there now i guess...Kind of like what Morgan's was like before they folded...
