flathead machine shop needed, minnesota
 

I bought a stalled 8ba disassembled block project, it came with many new parts. Looking for a flathead friendly machine shop in Minnesota for my 51 ford truck. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.

Big state ! Can you trim it down a bit? I have had good luck with Dana's machine in Shakoppe

When I was growing up in Blommington, we called it Shakopee;)

If you're up north, Dave at the NAPA in Baxter (next to Brainerd) did a good job for me a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the help. The twin citys area or even western wisconsin would work.

I met some nice guys up in east bethel at back to the 50s this year.

The business name is Swillco

I do not know them personally or have had any work done by them. They had several flat heads next to their booth they had worked on.

They would be good to at least talk to.

https://wagamonbrothers.com Pretty sure they have been doing motors for many years. I stopped there one day to see if they could do King pins, he said they used to. But they had a couple flatty's getting worked on and I ask if they do ford flathead and they said yup all the time. Check them out. They might not be cheap but pretty sure they know what they are doing.
