    Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in the S.E. Mich. area that knows flathead Fords? And one I don't have to wait 6 mos. to get the parts back! All the good shops I know say they can do flatheads but they all specialize in newer engines like Chevy. LS etc,. Right now I just need to have them open up around the spark plugs on a new set of Offy, ,heads.
