Where to get heads/intake port and polish in PA?

Where can I get heads/intake ported and polished in PA?
I just received my LT4 conversion kit and I want to get my heads/intake ported and polished and possibly a 3/5 angle valve job. I currently live out near Philadelphia but I am moving to Harrisburg next week. I travel through State College and Altoona a good bit. I would possibly drive to Pittsburgh. Does anyone know any good machinists in the area?

Thanks

Lorenzo is one of the best around. He used to work for Frank Bash Engines, but now he's on his own. I believe his shop is in Bristol. If you're interested I'll get his number for you.

Don't be worried that your getting head porting suggestions from a girl (in case you were) Jackie knows more about working on fast cars than most of the guys do around here

- No offense meant Jackie

I'm using Rapid Motor Sports. Mikey does great work. Give him a call at 610-404-7979. Mikey is on vacation this week and will be back on 8/11/03. He's currently building a 383 stage 2 stroker for me.

John,
I am so sorry that it took me this long to get back to you. I completely forgot and then I was on vacation last week. Sheesh... I am really sorry.

Anyway, Lorenzo's number is (215)750-8324. He is one of the best around! If you do go to him, let him know that I sent you (Jacki Niemczyk - Bob's daughter).

Again, I apologize for my mental block.
