Default Recommendations for Main Babbitt Jobber in NE Penna / NY / NJ area ?

Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable jobber to pour & line-bore Main Babbitt for a Model A block in the NE Penna / NY state / NJ area ?

Looking for someone within a 300 mile drive... would like to avoid shipping.

Also appreciate any cautionary advice / shops to avoid, PM's are fine.


Thanks !

Frank

Schwalms is the go to guy in these parts .. Even though I get my insert motors from AER..
AER does have a reasonable shipping program

Schwalms (Ora Landis) Is good, but I like Hercules Welding in Palmyra, NJ. Ora did a complete engine for with inserts $5000 + Hercules charged $700 to do just the mains. Nobody's cheap. A and I, in Souderton quoted $1200 to do just the mains.
