@snicklas , thanks for posting that.
Travis and I talked about the shop here in Greenfield, which is the shop that did all the head and machine work on his SBC in the Red Square Body. Travis mentioned needing to get the heads looked at on his other truck, just in passing while the SBC heads were there, and the guy asked what it was, and Trav said an 86 Ford with a diesel... the guy at the machine shop's eyes lit up and he smiled and said that's an IDI, I have the tool to cut the heads WITH the cups in them..... they had a long discussion about them after that, and Travis said that is where he was going to take the heads off the Grey truck when he tore it down. Many people in Greenfield/Hancock County said if you want good machine work, go to this machine shop, there are other shops that are known for their tuning so you can go fast, but they said for machine work, go to this guy....
The shop is:
Whetsel's Automotive Inc.
43 Hough St.
Greenfield, IN 46140
(317) 462-9461
He is just off Main Street (US-40) not far from Dairy Queen here in Greenfield.
If I need machine work, he is who I plan on using.......
I have a friend in the C'Bus are that rebuilds motors for his customers professionally. The machine shop he uses now is http://www.fowlerperformance.com/index.html@3Kp , i live over around dayton/ Columbus Ohio area.
