Building a '94 4.0 off of a ford motorcraft short block. Need to find a machine shop that will do the head work in the central Texas area. Have had someone check several in the Austin area and they will all do new guides, cut 2 angle valve job. No one wants to do new valves, springs and keeps. That makes no sense to me. After 189,000 miles of up and down? 
Since I'm building everything new, now is the time. Surely some of you Texans in here got to know someone that'll dip, magna flux for cracks, cut 3 angle, install new; guides, valves with lap, springs and keeps? I know it's a 4.0l and it's going to cost. Hell I'm alreayd over a grand with incidentals, block, water pump, electric fan kit, motor mounts, oil pump, lifters, push rods, rockers, blah blah blah.
Who's the man, or shit now a days might be the woman, doing the head work?
I know Tom Morana does but we don't even want to discuss shipping from Texas to Ontario, Canada.
