J and M Machine, Southboro Ma. They are a top tier machine shop and have done several Model T Engines for me . I do all ground up restorations. They do it correctly and won’t skip corners even if you ask them to.If you want it done with out issues that will come back to haunt you, go with them. Some photos of them working on my 1912 Torpedo engine

Hands Down J&M Machine. They did my transmission for me and not only did a great job they put up with all my dumb questions along the way. Take a look at my thread Getting Rattles back On The Road and you can see what they did. They even make their own drums!

J&M Machine.... Their machine work is top notch, they don't cut corners, very knowledgeable and they take the time to answer all your questions. My engine runs like a top, I have them doing a second "T" engine for me.

He did say: in the New England area, or East of the Mississippi (River), so that kind of rules out Mike Bender in Oklahoma, or Ross Lilliker in College Station, or Daniel Bratcher of timeless T's in San Antonio.
