I have heard of them, but don't know of anyone who has used them.  Their web site looks good...

You could also try Brent Lykins at B2 motorsports, he builds some nice stuff.

I don't know Tom personally.
But he does buy the beer so he can't be all bad. ;D
He is a long time poster on FordFE.

Tom is a good guy, no problems if he is local to you- where are you? I am in Napa, about an hour and a half from Auburn

Tom is a great guy, honest as the day is long.  As far as your 428 goes, he's also an excellent engine builder.  He built the 428 in my 63 1/2 Galaxie, as well as doing a lot of other work on the car. I don't think you would be disappointed, he's very meticulous and his stuff makes power!

 Since then he's also built a stout 393ci Windsor for my truck.  I honestly cannot think of another business (regardless of product,and I'm a general contractor so I deal with many quality outfits) that I have been more pleased with. 

I'm in SF, if you are anywhere nearby I'd be glad for you to check out my Galaxie.

RJP,

I had completely spaced it out, but now that you  have reminded me,  Hell yes! I think it's a great idea.  Just need to double check schedules and will register the Galaxie.  How about you? Bringing your Galaxie?

Yep, Not sure which one yet. Probability the 66 Galaxie as it is the easiest to get out of the shop. :-\   I'll be with a group of hard core Ford freaks. From Pintos to a GT 40....so far, more may be added. Looking forward to seeing you and your Galaxie. Regards, Bob

Steve, good to meet you at PCDM. Sorry we didn't get to meet up after lunch as we saw a opening among the parked cars and made a break for it. The traffic on 1 gets real bad after about 1:30- 2 pm. Hopefully we can get together another time. best regards, Bob
