For future reference.
Maybe someone who specializes in Triumph. Also will need a good engine rebuild in the future.

Chad, I have had great luck with David Anton at APT in Riverside---they are not mechanics but will rebuild your engine to what ever specs you want!

I have also heard great things about Frank Monrise in Pasadena and have met him and his sons at Buttonwillow racing vintage Sprites...

I've seen some really cool rides parked in front of Monrise's shop.

I know that he is nowhere near SFV, but have you considered using John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D Automotive Machine Shop? He has lots of experience with rebuilding import engines.
