Machine Shops near OKC

[NickJ]

Morning all,
  Can anyone recomend a good machine shop near Lawton, OK. I'm stationed at Fort Sill and was hoping to tear into the 440 this winter but really have no idea about shops in this area. OKC or North Texas is ok too. Don't mind traveling just want good work. Thanks!

I live in OKC and been wondering that myself.

There is a "Chevy" machine shop not far from me – but don't think I want to use them.
There is also a "nuttin' but" Cylinder head shop (not their name) also not far from me, that I've heard good things from – but traveling from Lawton to OKC for cylinder head work is a bit much for a 3½ hour round trip(s).

There is one in Norman, OK which several  people has said is high priced – but no firsthand information and their hours and mine conflict.

If you find someone let us know (good or bad).

I've gotten a few recommendations from some Facebook Mopar groups. They all recommend Boyd's in Norman. Supposedly they're a bit pricey but do outstanding work. I plan on a trip up there in the next couple weeks to ask some questions. I'll post again after.

I've never used Boyd's in Norman, but everything I've heard has been positive. The paper (Daily Oklahoman)
did a full page article on them a few years back. They are a family run business since the 60's. They focus on racing engines.
Here's the article:

I have used "Folks" in Norman 10 years ago to do a 451 stroker short block. I remember the price being reasonable and the work was good. Sadly I didn't get the chance to put a lot of miles on the car before I sold it. I was planning on using them again when the time came for my next project.
