Unhappy Are There Any Good Machine Shops In Florida!?

I am building a 406 SBC and need to have the block machined.(bored,alighn honed, and decked) I am in Gainesville and the shops around here are horrible. I would be willing to drive either to Jacksonville,Orlando, and maybe Tampa if the shop is open on Saturdays. Anyone know of any good shops?

I've heard that the Gainsville are shops suck. Why is that? I mean they have a great track right there.
My buddy lives there and he had all kinds of problems with the shop he used for his project Firebird.
Now he is having trouble finding a shop to do his roll cage.
I use Scovilles in Merritt Island. Its alittle far but the do great work.

American Cylinder in Vero is good. They build quite a few race motors there.

Im in the market for a new one too in the Tampa area. I used to go to Turley's machine shop, but he stopped doing quality work and started charging too much.
