Good machine shop in Kansas City area? (FE Ford)

[plovett]

Anybody know a good machine shop in the KC area that is FE Ford knowledgeable I am looking to build a street/strip engine. I need a sleeve, complete machine work, and head work. A dyno would be nice, too.

Thanks for any leads,

Lykins Motorsports.
I believe he is in Louisville Kentucky.
Not sure if that is close enough?

He's on my list, but it's about an 8-9 hour drive from here.

thanks,

Anybody? I think KC is big enough that there should be some good machine shops?

Is 200 miles somewhat close? If so, you can't do better than Gessford Machine in Hastings, NE. https://www.gessford.com/ Gessford is a premier FE builder.

Possibly. I'd like to find a place close enough that I can drop by and check on things, or drop off and pick up parts. I hate sending my stuff off out of immediate reach. It's easy to be forgotten or put off where you are far away and not face to face.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out.
