I have an uncracked 35 babbit motor with a big chunk out of the rear main (needs rebabbiting and currently bored .040. Have some new .060 flat-top pistons that would go with some very nice original 33-34 alum heads, I have. I live in E. Wash where good, old car-oriented machine shops seem difficult to find. My question is " are there any good/reasonable, experienced shops that could handle the re-babbiting in the Spokane, Seattle WA, Portland,OR or Boise, ID areas? ". That's about as far as I want to drive.

Also can a 1936-38 LB crank be cut down to fit the babbited block? I should also have a 35 crank that is not too far gone.
