Bill Holterman at Built Rite Engines in Addison might be able to help. His dad George Holterman had/has a shop in Elburn rebuilding and restoring these old cars.
Bill has done machine work for me on a bunch of 289, 302, 351, 390, 428 engines. I'm pretty sure he has experience with the flattys as well. |

"Motor Service" in Harvard is a full engine rebuilding shop, they ground my 59a crank a few years ago. They are even located in a twenties era Ford dealership building.

Bob Sweeny of FX Engines in Mokena IL. (708) 479-9384, did the machine work and partial assembly on my 8BA. Mokena a SW suburb of Chicago. He specializes in vintage engines and drag race. He is very good at what he does but isn't fast and not cheep.
