I need to get a crack in a cast iron fe repaired and was told to send it to Southern Automotive in Georgia. Does anyone have any experience with them, or any other suggestions? Thanks.

There used to be a shop on Long Island that specialized
in repairing iron heads/blocks....can't recall the name....
Mitchell Racing would know....

Mike were you thinking about Al Maython - High Speed Salvage? If so, I was told he retired to Florida somewhere. Thanks

Thanks Ron, I already spoke with Bill from Southern automotive. I am trying to get feedback on them before I ship them some parts. Good, bad or indifferent experiences would be welcomed. Thanks

I don't have first hand experience with them, but I have spoken with Bill back in my might get a Cobr days. Bill Parham I think? Typically good experiences I've heard but you could look and search on ClubCobra.

Friends of mine with Cobras swear by them. Southern has the lock on FEs. Some time ago they got hold of a large shipment of them, some of the last ones made from what I heard. Bill is an up front kinda guy. They more than anyone I know of, knows FEs. Their reputation is heads and shoulders above most engine builders. They are always sponsoring Cobra activities, runs, get to gethers etc. If I had a problem with an FE, I would go with what ever they suggest. I doubt they would steer you wrong.
