I live in Ashland KY which is on the border of Ohio and West Virginia and I would like to find an ecotec knowledgeable machine shop who actually works on these blocks and heads on a regular basis. The shops around here are really not knowledgeable on these motors and always need specs on this and that to machine them. I would like to find a shop who knows these things already and can help me decide what works best with what and certain combinations and etc. I'm willing to make a trip if its worth my time. Any shop names and addresses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you eventually end up shipping, Fred at
SMG Motoring builds these motors for a living. He definitely has the info you need and the means to do a proper job. I hang out there a lot, he's a good dude.

If I wan an ECOTEC guy, he would be one of my go to guys / shops. Fred is also a great guy to deal with.

Hey John, Glad to see a local guy on here and thanks for the pm you sent me. I have since bought a built car from Illinois and don't need any machine work at the time. Hell, I didn't know Jess Franz had a machine shop in flatwoods, I grew up there. I just took and had my sheet metal intake welded up there the other day. I'm also glad they mess with ecotecs thanks to you I'm told! Anyway i'll pm you my phone number and maybe get yours. I'll post some pics of my car as soon as I shrink them down to fit on here.
