machine shop for dual spark that will communicate by e-mail ?

I have purchased a set of cylinder heads and want the seller to ship directly to a shop to have them machined for dual spark.

Who does this AND also reply to e-mails ? I have tried three reputed shops and none of them reply.

EDIT; got quick reply from JB Racing
regards

I can machine them for dual plugs, have fixtures and have done this on three sets. PM me if interested.

Thank you Raceboy. Much appreciated. Yours is a bit out of the way as the heads are currently in the US. Otherwise I would have taken you up on your offer. Next time !

Call Mike at JB Racing. He's out until next Tue. You can try email, but not the best method to communicate with him. They are in Florida if that helps anything.

I used Xtreme Cylinder Heads in Palm City, Florida. They not only do a fine job of rebuilding cylinder heads, they also cast blank heads. They did my last two sets. Good Luck, Phil Xtreme Cylinder Heads And Castings

Some of the real good Porsche mechanics are " genius" types. Some aren't good on the phone , mine for instance won't do emails either. So I work with him by phone . Not saying there aren't guys who are great communicators but...

I found Henry Schmidt at Supertec excellent at returning my emails in a timely fashion when I was having work done. Also helpful when I sent other questions.

issue resolved. I got a quick reply from JB Racing and will send the heads there.

EDIT; seller of the heads sold them to someone else after agreeing to sell them to me and after I had got an appointment with the machine shop. What is the world coming to...

Great Cgarr. Unfortunately the seller broke the deal and sold to someone else. So I am still looking for large port heads.
