Phoenix machine shops?
Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in the Phoenix area?
I live in the east valley so would prefer this side of town, but willing to drive for a good deal/job.
Google searched until my eyes dried up and can't find much.
Don't want to go with BRE. Too many bad reviews, not only on review sites, but I've seen other threads on here saying to stay away also.
Currently running a 454, want to make it a 496.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I use Five Star Engine in Glendale. #623-939-0345 Chris he loves BBC hes built lots of engines for my shop. A 496c.i is pretty common these days. I use to have work done at Standard Mech into they screwed me a few times and tried to swap out some super rare heads from a 66 427. I am with you on no BRE way to many rip off storys I no guys that have been screwed. What year vet is it going in?

It's going into my Frankenstein Build.
Registered as a 68, and the VIN is 68, but most of the body appears to be 71ish.
Either way it's a bumper vette, and nothing is original, so I can do whatever I want without worry of ruining its originality and offending the NCRS gods.
More info on what I'm working with:

Oh ya I saw that tread cool hot rod project. Chris is the guy to go to for a budget build he can save you some money. I would save some cash look for a deal on alum heads for the performance and to take lbs off the front end.
