Any decent machine shop SHOULD be able to do it.  Try to find an LBC inclined
shop however.  I went to a restoration shop.  His labor rate is pricey
($50.00), but the shop had an XKE, TR6, 914, a couple of Jensen Healeys, some
sort of MG T series car etc... you get the idea.  Dude knew what he was doing.
