Any Good Southwestern Ontario Machine shops left?

Good day all, I am doing a re-fresh on my old school 350 and my local machine shop in Guelph is not interested in the work, and the other local guys are all getting out of the business. Does anyone in the Southern Ontario Region know of a good machine shop that can Deck my 350 to Zero?

I found a good place in Brampton but they only want top deck .010 to clean it up not take off serious material.

Any help would be appreciated, I've searched for posts but they all seem to be 10-15 year old posts.

You could try “Head and Block” in Stoney Creek. They were still doing performance builds a few years ago.

You can try Mississauga Engines. I'm not sure if the they would deck your 350 to zero...but worth a call.

Contact Jeff at Beatty & Woods in Mississauga.
Tell 'em Kevin from Barrie sent you. They had been doing my and my racing friends engine work from when Jeff's dad, Chuck Beatty, was the man at the desk.
They'll build an engine to whatever spec you want. And are always good for a phone call or email to discuss.
