I've had dealings, parts, work done for longer than I care to remember by HT, nothing ever short of perfection.
They did all the machining on my 2.1 pinto, inc special head for dry fuel, worked ace.

I wouldn't say they are dear, pretty much average, but can be slow at times, so budget for a little longer than they say.
