Hey Bob,
Good choice. I have 2 BBC heads up there at Ray's now. I dropped them off on the Hot Rod Drag Week trip. Went right by his place in Seymour IN. He has done work for some of my customers and my shop. Never had any issues with his work.

We had Ohio Crankshaft repair one of our 292 heads. Looks great and they were easy to deal with.
