Default Flathead Machine Shop-Utah

Good afternoon,

Does anyone know of a reputable machine shop in Utah that will do work on flatheads?

Thanks.

Dale

If you are a V-8 Club member check your roster for people in your area and I'm sure they can refer you to a reputable shop. It's one of the advantages of belonging to the club.

Dale, it is C&T Automotive in Orem. They did the machine work on my race motor. I was very happy with them.

Turns out C&T isn't accepting any additional flathead work....

Probably the old timers that knew flatheads and worked there have retired (or worse).
